Do you get paid by the miracle or the number of converted heathens?

Salaries already constitute the largest drain on the Vatican's finances - and its coffers are feeling the pressure of the falling value of the US dollar, our correspondent says.

Not to mention the pressure of the multi million dollar settlements to keep naughty priests out of court. lol:

The Catholic Priest is a curious thing
He preaches and threatens hell fire
With his mind full of thoughts
Of the boys in the choir
And their bottoms like jellies on string.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

It says it will take into account issues such as "dedication, professionalism, productivity and correctitude" when awarding a pay rise.

Is that the same as correction?  I hear some would pay a lot of money for that  eyes:
Like the Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor...
