Just like any other church. And, actually, the Catholic Church is a lot better than many other churches when it comes down to it. Having been raised Catholic, it was shocking to me when I found out onodrim's childhood church (Missouri Synod Lutheran) sent biannual reports of how much money you've given to the church - even if it's $0 - to make you feel guilty.

It takes a lot of money to operate religious institutions. Not saying it's a good use of money, but there's often less profit in it than there may seem. Anyway, $300 seems about right for the priest considering I'd charge ~$100 just to sing at a religious ceremony.
