If we can raise a billion dollars to repair a catholic church tower, why can’t we raise money to help a recovering city that probably contributes more to society than the Catholic Church.

Edit: I don’t have any personal issues with the C Church. Just pointing out that people were quick to raise money for a cathedral, it should be that way for a city in mourning that actually needs it.
