Archdiocesan priests only take vows of chastity and obedience. Only monks and friars who are priests also take vows of poverty.
yes of course you are correct. i was just reacting to the overall gestalt of the situation where a priest would sue his bishop in secular court for a big sum of money. (and while this priest probably did not take a formal vow of poverty, one normally expects that he would not “be in it for the money”)
but yes, you are correct, thanks
Diocesan Priests make promises. Religious order Priests make vows.
