PS: We, every tax payer, even pay for the "frankincense" in catholic church rituals and for many more persons in the church hierarchy, not only bishops. These do not only get "near 10,000" as I wrote, but 13,000 €/month = > 14,300$. Per Month! And: They don't pay into the state's pension system (~19% per month), only pay 50% for health insurance, and the free car they get is usually a S-class mercedes now (used to be an E-class some 10 years ago). So, all in all (including their appartements in best locations), these persons cost ALL tax payers some 20-30,000 €/month! Back in 2010 the tax payers paid some 442,000,000 €/year. That should now be close to 500,000,000…
