Well, I've never paid cash for any sins I've committed, and I don't know any of my counterparts who have, either, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't get paid for sins, but if I find out any different, I'll sure let you know. . .

I dont think so, that would be wrong to do so. But listen to me babble I dont even believe in sin.

G'day Lucifer Venus, Thank you for your question. Not any more. However, the Catholic Church made a great deal of money during the Middle Ages for indulgences for the forgiveness of sins. That is how St Peters was financed. I have attached sources for your reference.

No. The Pope earns no salary. However three bags containing gold, silver, and copper coins are placed in the coffin beside the body of a dead pope. Each bag contains one coin for each year in his reign, the only monetary compensation he receives for his service as pope. http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=15948 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_of_Pope_John_Paul_II With love in Christ.
