How much do priests earn in your country?

[Doc.]

They do earn a LOT here, I figure it's among the most paid positions. It's getting in everybody's eyes since all of them priests ride at least a shiny Land-Criuser instead of serving their god through denying earthly temptations and helping the poor. I must say these luxury cars have damaged the church's authority more than anything in a long time, they have also made a habit out of putting crosses on the back of their cars (sample photo). so anyway, I'm curious if it's like this elsewhere. specify if there is any significant difference in salary (language barrier) throughout the hierarchy ladder.

'earn'? Did you say 'earn'?

About $10 a week.

From what I know, above the poverty line. I would say about in line with standard teacher's salaries and managers of non-profit organisations.

In Belgium, their gross income is € 1.660 per month, if they have one parish, and € 2.490 if they have more than one (which most do, as their numbers keep dropping). They also have the right to live in a clergy house.
