Can a priest be sued for mismanagement of parish funds?
.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.

Why does each Catholic Parish have their own rules?
All Catholic Churches follow the same doctrines and rituals, such as the Mass, etc., that is why it is called Catholic - universal. However, the day to day management of the parish is left to the pastor as he sees fit. In many parishes a Parish Council helps the pastor in developing policies and regulations. The pastor or council may set mass times, regulate who uses the parish's buildings and when, establish parking regulations, etc. As each parish has its individual circumstances, a blanket rule for all churches would not be practical.

Can a Catholic bishop close a Catholic school down?
It depends on whether he "owns" it or not. All parish Catholic schools in a diocese belong, at least in the United States to the bishop as a corporate sole, and the bishop can legally do anything he wants to with the property entrusted to him for the good of souls. If a religious Order or some other group owns the school, then the bishop will be more limited in what he may do.
Could Paroisse De Grand Pauvre be interpreted to mean the poorest parish in English?
The parish itself is not qualified by the adjective "pauvre". It might be translated as "the parish of the Holy Poor" as, in Catholic faith, "grand pauvre" refers to God himself: "Pauvre" indicates that he owns nothing, not even the desire to own, "grand" indicates greatness.
