The Church substitutes living conditions for income. As I said below, a friend of mine worked for the vatican, and lived a luxurious lifestyle, but didn't own anything. The Church's agreement is that they provide all your needs.

In the case of the Church, there is plenty of income, but no monetary wages to withhold. The Church holds all of the priest's wealth. Should the priest be allowed to live an upper middle class lifestyle yet not have to pay for his own child's support, simply because his employer has come up with a clever way of paying him?
