“I get $1,000 a month, and now I actually have more disposable income than I did before.”
I thought Priests were supposed to take a vow of poverty???
Monks have to, not Priests
Those in religious communities generally take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Some members of religious orders are priests. Diocesan priests promise celibacy (when they are ordained deacon) and obedience to their bishop. But they do not give up any property or income they may have. They cannot engage in some occupation or business without the bishop’s permission, however.
