Catholic AnswerIn the United States, legally, the Bishop owns everything in the diocese. All the land, buildings, convents, churches, schools, etc. are in his name, personally. It is called a corporate sole. Although ultimately the priest is responsible for the parish funds, and he is responsible to the people of his parish for that, ultimately he is responsible to the Bishop of his diocese who actually owns the funds, etc. Of course, ultimately he is responsible to God, but we're just talking legalities here.
