I think the sticking point is the provision that they have to disclose all of their real estate holdings.

....bingo, methinks. It's just my opinion, but I would believe that the last thing in the world that the Catholic church wants is full disclosure of their real estate assets.
If they are as vast as some claim, the potential backlash of the average parishioner who has faithfully contributed over the years could be significant.
