The Spirit of Timidity...

Father Richard John Neuhaus at On the Square mentioned in passing that
The average priest in the Archdiocese of New York gets about $15,000 per year, plus room and board and Mass stipends.

    So basically 15,000 spending money? I'd take it!

    (Most diocese also include a car/insurance provision. NY might not because...well, who has cars in NYC?)

  2. No--it's $15K LESS TAXES for 'spending' money--and they may have to report the stipends as income, AND they may have to report the living quarters as income (though I doubt it.)

    It's about 1/2 of the Milwaukee scale--or less.

  3. Of course, in New York going to a movie costs about $80...
