According to the Catholic World News, the Pope earns no salary. See: http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=15948

I don't know much about the salaries of cardinals.

A priest gets a small stipend from the parish to which he is assigned. Usually he also gets free room and board, a car, health insurance, and a retirement plan.

I don't know for sure but I have heard that if all the extras were added up that a priest would earn about $70,000 a year.

With love in Christ.
