    It depends on the diocese or the area that is in in the south is only about $ 16,000 to start around $ 22,000. Some have houses (churches) and some churches give a small amount to help pay for a place to live ($ 300 - $ 400 per month). In the north (think Massachusetts or Detroit area) are paid much better. It depends on how much money to churches to take in their Sunday offerings, etc. These are all estimates.

    Not much, apparently. $ 30-50 billion, according to this website.

    depends on the area average as the same position in Detroit is different then in San Diego …. Would you like to ask a specific area adjacent to - can get something more than average. suburban Detroit - about $ 30K a year more than their home. Now, do not forget that work 24 / 7 365.

    Basically, the Catholic Church is like the Mafia, all the money goes to the top. It's really a mob, the worlds largest, most influential and dangerous.
