On the note, yes, there are poor clergy people.

Most nuns in the Roman Catholic Church are poverty line, especially small groups. They recieve no money from the church and must exist on the charity of Catholic laypeople.

Fransiscans hold true to their vow of poverty. Most of the priests with whom I've had the pleasure to work aren't rolling around in it, either.

In other words, dear friends, think before you type. There are some people who take vows of poverty and the sex scandal in the Church very seriously.
