Huh...I thought these giuys operated on a small stipend..
« on: April 11, 2022, 01:24:35 AM »
  It doesn't look like it !  Not as bad as Joel Osteen, but still far more than the average preacher.

   ...Or even some recognized 'money-grubbing' preachers.

So much for the vow of poverty, huh?

Yeah, I thought that vow was necessary to be a priest.

I believe preachers should make a good living if they are really hard working Bible believers.
My preacher is a really good one.

  I agree with that..about the average of his congregation's wages, is a good place to start, and the rest to be determined as they go along.  No place for millionaires, however..

Since I'm not a catholic I don't give a rat's behind what they pay the pope or any of their other leaders. Why should anyone not a catholic care?

How many of you have a clue what the preacher of your church makes?

Not to put a too fine point on it, but the news media has been known to twist the facts a tad to make someone look bad. BTW, not a Catholic either.

  I know what my preacher makes, because I am one of the 3 elders who decide the issue..

   Not only that, but the entire church membership knows, because our church budget and payments are all printed and distributed to members at the annual meeting, which is coming up on April 24th.

     ..An open book to all members...the way it should be...no hidden Judas types.
