No, because the pastor under normal circumstances is not the owner of the property. His name is not on the deed. The deed would belong to the diocese with the pastor managing the property. The pastor does not own the property as the laity do in this case.
Incorrect. The diocese of St. Louis started re-incorporating the individual parishes. The pastor, dean, and vicar are the officers and the director is the bishop. In this way, they insulate the entire diocese from whatever lawsuits are brought at the church/priest level ... the parishioners bear he brunt of the lawsuits then, not the diocese.
