Archbishop reveals salary
T
he Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid, Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, revealed during an interview on ABC Punto Radio just how much he earned
– €1,160 a month “like all the Spanish bishops”.
He said a parish priest earned between €800 and €900 on average although the longest-serving ones may get €1,000. He also said the causes of the current economic crisis were a “vacuum of ideas” and the fact that an increasingly smaller number of young people were going to have to support an increasingly greater number of older people.
He refused to comment on the recent trial of singer Javier Krahe who was found not guilty of offending religious sensibilities by cooking a crucifix on a short film made for TV more than 30 years ago which was finally shown ten years ago.
