Mostly through donations. There are some monks that make and sell wine and produce, but most priests rely on the donations of their parishioners.
Most priests grew their own food or accepted food from the people around them. The surfs paid a tax with food to the parish.
They didn't earn money and the grew the food they ate or the church community provided food. It was considered Godly to be poor.
depending on what type of priests depended on how they made their money... if they were secular priests or clergymen such as bishops and archbishops, then they usually were paid by the king and they lived very wealthy lives and had many workers. if they were nuns or monks they sent their fryars out to preach the gospel and pretty much beg for food/money.
They didn't make money, Normally like today in some places of the world they were self sufficent. Meaning the farmed their own crops and grew their own gardens. Had farm animals etc.
It all goes to support the church who has to pay the staff ( business managers, religious ed coordinators, priests, etc) and pay the bills like heat and food. All money comes from the parishioners, not the diocese. Priests do not make enough money to support all these bills. Sometimes a second offertory is taken to support charities,the poor, and the greater church across the world.

They did not usually wear food.
Diocesan priests do not take a vow of poverty. Thus, he can be named in a will and money will go to him and not the parish. You should double check to make sure. Other type priests and nuns take a vow of poverty and money would lileky go to parish or convent.
Priests are paid by the church. Some also work other jobs.
