Do secular priests who work in a parish church take the vow of poverty?
Yes, especially in Religious Orders. The meaning of "Poverty" is flexible within the church. For instance, there are monasteries that only rely on donations that "happen" to appear at their doorstep, there are monasteries who only operate on what they need for a few days and donate the rest to the poor, or ranging to the Dominicans who just have community supplies of what they need. Diocesan priests are expected to live in the socio-economic state in which their congregation, on average, lives. For instance, a priest in an old, poor area of a city will not live across town in a large, stone, gated house. However, a priest whose congregation would be congressmen, let's say, would live in the state in which most congressmen live in. This vow of poverty means that their lives are not extravagant past what they need to do God's will.
