I did a little research at the US Department of Labor Statistics. I was able to identify Roman Catholic Priests as a category for which there were some statistics. I thought that some of you would appreciate knowing the numbers. These data are based on 2003 tax returns. Minimum Salary = 12,936.00 Maximum Salary = 15,483.00 Now for my question. I wonder what Irelands compensation package consists of? Since he must be a 501(c)3 organization, these records must be public. Are there any Legal Beagles out there who could help us with this? How do we go about finding this out? I think that we would all love to know this information.
But I think you better factor in that the priests living expense are ALL PAID FOR by the church. That includes housing cha-ching, food cha-ching, transportation cha-ching, health insurance cha-ching, life insurance cha-ching cable TV cha-ching, and pretty much anything else you need to live your life.
So you better head back to your abacus and work the numbers again.
Sorry Craig...you're voice is still wringing in my ears from Monday night. And my butt hasn't loosened or my toes haven't uncurled from embarasment yet. Once they do I'll take anything you say serious.
Get your priorities straight. Embarassed? How about trying on the word "Bankrupt" which is what we all will be in this town if this thing goes through. Our homes will be worth nadda. I did what I did absolutely intentionally and for a very good and calculated reason. There is some very important information in the record now because of my approach - - - which was ignoring the chair and insisting on having my questions to be answered. Personally, I could not care less what the board thinks of my approach. IIt means nothing to me. What does mean a lot to our family is that our house value has dropped from 900 K down to 650 K since this Christ Church crap began. Have you had your real estate valued lately?? Hmmm. Do you know what town in Morris county has the most real estate inventory right now? You got it!! It is Rockaway Township. You should thank me and not excoriate me for my approach. The fact that Ireland will not cap his membership at 25000 people is on that record and will be very useful down the line. Also, my questions got excellent press coverage in the Newspapers. That means more people are aware of the real issues here.
