That's not an answer to my question of the metric you are using!

What countries are directly under papal rule such that the pope has the authority to directly dictate policy?

none. Where did the Vatican's wealth come from?

So your upset with the pope for not instituting state programs to redistribute wealth despite him not having the power to institute such programs?

And as tele pointed out, he has publicly scolded opulent priests,

No, I asked how much of the Vatican's wealth he had redistributed. It has zero to do with the governments of the respective states the Vatican took the money from. If he is going to get all morally superior, he ought to start in his own back yard and redistribute the Vatican's billions and direct churches in poor countries to divest themselves as well. Scolding doesn't mean shit.
