The vatican holds onto it's artwork because it is was created mostly for them by Catholics, it is their very culture they refuse to rid themselves of. As for the churches vast wealth, they hold onto much of it to protect the church. Had they instead used the poor judgement you demand of them this latest crisis would have bankrupted them and the church would have in danger of collapse.

I'm sorry but I will not pass judgement on the church for being responsible with money and keeping treasured pieces of their own history.
