Roman Catholic clergy are paid out of funds from their local diocese or archdiocese. Their exact pay varies from region to region but it is based around giving them enough money to pay for necessities and travel etc. Pay for an ordinary parish priest is never particularly high but a bishop or an archbishop might receive more pay.
Many priests will share resources with other priests. For example, in a parish with several priests, they might have a shared credit card, shared car, and shared living facilities. This sort of arrangement is common for priests. The emphasis within the Catholic Church is on service to the Church, not on pay, so the average parish priest is not extravagantly paid by local standards. Moreover most of the property they use - like their living accomodation - tends to be the property of the local archdiocese instead of their own property.

Is the best man in a Catholic wedding supposed to pay the priest?
It is not customary nowadays to pay the priest. This is due to churches actually charging up to $1000.00 for the ceremony to take place. As Priests do not officially have bank accounts, and as Catholics have no desire for consumeable things then there is no need to "pay" the priest. Instead a gift can be made to a priest, such as a nice artwork, plant or anything of aesthetic or religious value. Regards Fr. Duncan

How do you pay a Catholic priest for performing holy marriage?
You do not "pay" a priest for performing a sacrament, that is called simony, and it is a sin. Usually you give the priest a "stole fee" or a donation, you can call the parish office and ask what a usual donation is suggested, but such a thing is never required and is entirely voluntary. The parish secretary should be able to offer you suggestions as to how to go about it if you wish to give him a donation.
Was the pay of a Catholic priest in Melbourne more than that of a Anglican pastor about 8 years ago?
You would have to call the appropriate dioceses in each religion as each diocese has its own pay scale, and even then it would depend upon the job of the priest and by whom he was being paid.
