The RCC has an enormous stash of wealth, spread throughout the world. It is truly criminal how they have managed to hide such vast sums of wealth. It's not just cash, it's jewels, artworks, antiquities, real estate, corporations, and IP licenses. Because of this, (of course) they have plenty of funds for attorneys. Be prepared for a case that will extend well into the next century, long after the earth is no longer habitable.
