∙ 14y agoChurch leaders are not paid for their service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, from missionaries to local congregation leaders. Often times Church members end up paying for their service, as in the case with missionaries.
The Church does provide for the President and other General Authorities Church-related travel expenses and may provide an apartment near Church headquarters if they cannot provide one for themselves.
Because the General Authorities are obliged to leave their regular employment for full-time Church service, they receive a modest living allowance provided from income on Church investments." (p. 510) Encyclopedia of Mormonism

∙ 13y agoNothing. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not pay any of it's ecclesiastical leaders or teachers. The prophet is granted access to a church-owned vehicle and a church-owned apartment if he chooses to use them. The church pays for his church-related travel expenses. Other items, such as medical care and clothing, are often donated by church members.
The only paid employees of the church are people such as groundskeepers, print-shop workers, and tv/radio station operators (people on the 'business end' of the church). None of the priesthood leaders, teachers, preachers, etc. are paid. This concept comes from a Book of Mormon scripture, 2 Nephi 26:31, which says, "But the laborer in Zion shall labor for Zion; for if they labor for money they shall perish."

∙ 13y agoNothing. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not believe in having a paid clergy and does not pay any of their leaders. This belief comes from a Book of Mormon verse which says: "And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were to declare the truth, that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?" (Alma 30:34)
Church leaders are compensated for their expenses related to church service, such as travel expenses.

He wasn't Mormon, let alone a "Mormon leader." He was a power-hungry creep who disliked Mormons, and made up his own church -- of which he made himself a leader.

How is Mitt Romney leader of the Mormon church good?
Your question is moot since Mitt is not the leader of the Mormon church.Well first of all, Mitt Romney is not the leader of the mormon church. That is Thomas S. Monson. Mitt Romney, like any human, has his pro's and con's. He can be considered good for his generous charity contributions, or for how he treats his family. It's a mater of opinion over fact, so that's the best I got ☻
Is the Mormon church really more about worshiping the church and it's leader than anything else?
The central focus of the Mormon church is Jesus Christ. The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sundays are spent worshiping Jesus Christ and his teachings and striving to become more Christlike. That said, Mormons revere their prophet and their church is the only church with a living prophet who receives revelation from God. Family is also a very central focus in the Mormon church.
