Every Catholic priest in the world is ordained by a particular Bishop. When he is ordained, he makes solemn promises of obedience to that Bishop and his successors. Thus he is paid either by that Bishop if he is a secular priest, or he is a religious priest, works for an Order (like the Jesuits or Benedictines) and does not receive a salary. If he is a diocesian priest, the diocese is responsible for him in his retirement, if he is a religious priest, then his Order will take care of him in his retirement. Thus every priest is going to have a different "pension" from nothing, if he belongs to a religious Order and has taken a vow of poverty, to whatever his Bishop thinks he needs to live.
