Yes. It is a job. Most have other responsibilities too, as most cardinals are bishops, so they would be paid.
Catholic AnswerMost Cardinals are bishops, although some are priests. Cardinals do NOT get paid for being a Cardinal, they continue in whatever job they that had before being appointed cardinal and are paid for that job. For instance, if they are a bishop of a diocese, then they continue to receive their salary as a bishop. If they work in the Curia, then they continue to receive their salary for that. Being a cardinal has no bearing whatsoever on their pay, and they are not paid for being a cardinal.

∙ 11y agoThat would depend on where they worked. A Cardinal is *usually* a Bishop or Archbishop of a diocese, or he might work in the Vatican. Nevertheless, he would be paid by his diocese IF he were a diocesian clergy. Some Bishops belong to religious Orders. An Order Bishop would probably have spending money, but would not have a salary per se, it would go to his Order.

Are Catholic nuns salaries paid by the Catholic Church?
You are a little confused. Catholic nuns are cloistered and do no work outside of their monastery. The women that you see that teach, nurse, work in parishes are Sisters (although they are commonly referred to as nuns, they are not). All nuns AND Sisters take a vow of poverty when they are fully professed and may not receive any salary. Any salary that their Order mayreceive is paid for by whatever institute they that work for: the hospital, the parish, the school, etc. There is no "Catholic Church" institute, only particular Churches which are individual Bishops and their dioceses.
Who paid for the basilica of national shrine?
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., is a privately owned and operated non-profit organization that receives no federal or national church funding. It is governed by a Board of Trustees, which includes cardinals, archbishops, bishops, members of the clergy, religious, and the laity. It is a "national" shrine by virtue of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Generations of American Roman Catholics contributed to the building of this church with its first contribution given in 1909; the faithful continue to contribute to keep it maintained and operating as a house of worship and pilgrimage.

What does selling indulges mean to the Catholic church?
It is an illegal practice of the Catholic church to be paid for forgiving someone who has sinned. What it means to the church is that I am assuming they will be all the richer for having gained part of their riches in such a sinfull manner.
Do Mormon bishops get expenis?
"Expenis" is not a word. Do you mean expenses? Bishops in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are not compensated in any way for their service. They are not paid, nor are their expenses paid. Mormon Bishops are expected to work a regular job to support their families, their service to the church is voluntary. Each congregation does get a specified amount of funds which are spent on various activities and supplies. The Bishop will approve of the expenditures before allowing the money to be deducted from the congregation's budget. Top-level church leadership do get many of their expenses paid, but they do not recieve a physical paycheck. When long-distance travel is required to fulfill church assignments (even for local leadership and missionaries), the church will provide the needed transportation.

Do Mormon bishops get paid?
No. Bishops and other local leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are not paid or compensated in any way for their time. They must work regular jobs to support their families in addition to fulfilling their duties to the Church. (For example, my bishop works full-time in construction) Leadership positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are lay volunteer positions - meaning they require no formal training and receive no compensation. And still pay their tithing I might add. However these are not permanent positions either they usually last a few years at most. then they are released and someone else is called.
How much does a Cardinal in the Catholic Church earn and how much would his pension be?
The salary of a Cardinal in the Catholic Church is not much. There are not statistics on this but all of their needs are met so there is not a need for much of a salary.Catholic AnswerThe salary of any given Cardinal depends entirely on his job and who pays him. Most Cardinals are Archbishops of individual dioceses. In this case, they do not have a "salary" as such, per se, as everything in the diocese - all Church property, churches, rectories, schools, etc. usually belong to them as a corporate sole. Thus their "income" would be the income for the entire diocese. The Cardinal, himself, would only draw what spending money he would need to meet any personal needs, everything is usually provided for him by the local Church. A Cardinal who works in the Vatican would receive a stipend from the Vatican congregation that he heads or works for. Again, it wouldn't be much, something to provide for his daily needs. But a "Cardinal" is not a position in the Catholic Church, it is just a title of honor among those bishops and archbishops (and in a very few cases, priests) who have been chosen by the pope to elect the next pope after his death.
