Why does the church have to accumulate so much wealth and power?

Social and political criticisms

The bible contains 30% verses on money and or business.  Yes that may be the reason why it has to earn things of this earth to spread the word of God. Or that it is necessary for it not to keep on asking money from everyone.

But we are all aware that the apostles were instructed to spread the word bringing nothing with them.  Or that is why celibacy is a must.  So that the ministers of the word are not tied up with worldly things.  And yet we see the church losing its investments (that was also mentioned in the scriptures)

And maybe the  church loses its focus on its mission and gets entangled in politics?

Why?
