Losing faith?

In the last few years the number of believers has plummeted, as you can see here.
Ireland's share of Christians has fallen down from 69% in 2005, to 47% in 2012. As bad as it is, it's not the only country that has a problem with this.
During the last few years, there have been less and less believers. The cause is unknown. Nothing significant has changed in the past few years.
Well, not unless you count the numerous people losing jobs, the economy eating itself out, bigger taxes, more pollution, species dying off in the hundreds, bigger crime rates, smaller pay, etc.
I am all for Vatican, but it seems lately they have been avoiding the causes and were just trying to cure the symptoms. It's the same as it is with the government now.

Let's take Africa for example. Vatican has been sending help and food to Africa for years now. Why?
Why are you doing something that will just help them for a few weeks until they go back to the life of starvation and misery they've been in until now?
Instead of sending food and money, why not build schools? Factories? Why not let them build their own economy instead of trying to make them accept your own when they clearly do not have the resources to do so?

This is what has been bothering me with Vatican lately. It has grown more of a corporation than the high pillar of Christianity. They are acting like a salesman. Instead of showing people how to build the foundations to Christianity, they are selling it off. They are shipping God in the form of currency instead of words.

What you're doing with this is just making people believers for the short term. You're not giving them the word of God, you're giving them the money of banks. Banks that are a part of our economy collapsing.
Vatican has become human greed incarnate.

If you want to help, instead of money, tell the people about God; instead of short-term help, build them the foundations they can build their faith and lives on.
Then, they will be truly grateful. And only then may you expect them to be believers in the long run.

But even if you do this, you will still be only doing it for glory and more people to make money off from. You will not be doing it to tell people about God and his word.
This way, you are just buying their trust, you are not giving them the chance to come to their own conclusion of God.
And that is wrong.

Vatican, shame on you.
