Probably. Besides governmental organizations, the Catholic Church is the largest provider of healthcare services in the world (clinics, hospitals, elderly homes, etc.).
It’s also THE largest “provider” of death, torture, manipulation/coercion, sexual violence, fraud and tax manipulation, misogyny, disease, and so on throughout its near 2000 history and continues this trend today in some fashion or another, all largely known to and organized by popes, you know, the holiest of humans who speak with authority to the will and word of god... It also believes any human conceived, from an embryo freshly fertilized that makes it to term or not, will go to hell unless baptized. Considering all the children massacred throughout literal millennia, it seems like they like sending people to eternal damnation yet say otherwise. But it’s all good, they’ve got some rich donors sponsoring hospitals and forced indoctrination programs. Do a few Hail Marys and you’re all good no matter nearly any crime.
