Dude I love the analogy : "The buck stops at the Pope's desk"
But seriously they're most likely just trying to protect themselves.
A priest molests a child in let's say the US, the Pope alienates himself with them, both religiously and fiscally.
The Church giving money to them would be like an admission of guilt.The Church has the never admit approach.

why didn't the Catholic church in Rome help when new Orleans needed help.
I just noticed that?
Or help in the 911 aftermath,
or help fund the united nations or green peace,
If the catholic church in Rome is this loaded could they not help countries lower their debts?
And fund countries to feed the hungry.
Yes, Catholic Church in Rome should help pay.
pay for fixing the projects,
pay by fixing the taxes,
Catholic church must own millions of property. considering its rich history.

Many people mistakenly believe that the Vatican is just loaded with money. The contrary is actually true. In fact, St. Peter's Episcopal Cathedral in New York is worth more then the entire Vatican estate!
