Italians are just desperate for more money in the state coffers, I think!
And they are looking high and low - suddenly realised that they had this untapped source of potential income. I don't think this will be acceptable to people in Italy though.

One of the reasons Catholicism can be such a formidable power is that they have resources. Without the financial power they would be a lot less influential. I am not a Catholic but I think the Catholic church does a lot of good work around the world.
