It’s not a monolithic financial institution in the U.S.

It’s a large array of individually operating entities providing local food banks etc.

It's a long running MLM selling "eternal salvation" and spending a tiny percentage of it's revenues on charity for PR cover.

While not given as a percentage of revenue, this post estimates the Catholic Church's charity as anything but 'tiny': https://old.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/6ogy4p/source_...

People also forget the huge network of Catholics who contribute their own personal time for the benefit of the local communities (and also the non-Catholics they activate with their local events).

It would be hard to quantify, but in the analysis you posted that's not included.
