No. I'm Catholic, and our parish finances are regularly reported to everyone.

I think it varies by diocese and parish.

I have been in several Catholic churches, each have provided a yearly financial statement.

However, reading between the lines of the article {They wouldn't give me a line-by-line budget showing how money is spent.} I think this woman wants more than a financial statement. She seems to wants to know how much was spent on paper towels etc.
