Answer Some clergy e.g. monks are unpaid whilst others are paid. Clergy of Protestant denominations have salaries established by the church, diocese or individual parish. Catholic clergy receive much less than Protestant clergy as their lives are, in theory, meant to be simpler because there is no wife or children.
this is a statement not a question ^ You fail, sir. The clergy depended on the __tithe___ or tax paid to the church to support its schools and charities .
tithe - income paid to support noblemen and clergy.(cause they are to bloody lazy to freaking work!)
no any such law was there in french revolution \
The Catholic Clergy were the First Estate and were tax exempt. The Nobles made up the Second Estate and paid no taxes. Everyone else was in the Third Estate and paid all of the taxes.
Peasants, merchants, and landowners. Basically, everyone who was not a noble, or part of the clergy. They also were the only ones who paid taxes.
Because the first (clergy) and second (nobels) represented less than 5% of the population, yet they had the same amount of power the clergy, the nobels, and the third estate (peasants and middle class) all had the same vote, but the clergy and nobels would always side with one another.
Clergy is a minister. Google him to find out!
The two types of clergy were regular clergy and secular clergy. Regular clergy were those who were in monastic orders, and so were regulated by the rules of those orders; they included monks and abbots. Secular clergy were those who served the secular population; they were deacons, priests, and bishops serving the secular people, or people who were not clergy.
The clergy at the church led the congregation in a prayer service.
This varies widely and depends both on the denomination, the congregation, and the larger society. Some clergy volunteer their ministry, so have to have a secular career to earn an income. Some clergy get no salary, but have all their needs provided for. Some clergy get some things provided for (housing, transportation, education, food) and a small stipend for spending money or investments. Some clergy get a salary determined by the size of the congregation or the amount of offerings made, and could become millionaires. In some countries, clergy are paid by the state, which collects a religion tax for all approved religious groups and distributes it accordingly. In other countries, churches must handle their own funds and nothing comes from the state. Some places allow tax breaks for clergy housing, some do not.
A) All Religons Were Tolerated It was Napoleon's policy to tolerate all religions. Napoleon recognized that most of the people of France were Catholic, but the French government paid the salaries of the Protestant as well as the Catholic clergy. He allowed the Catholic Church to run schools for the training of its clergy.
Yes, the Catholic clergy.
