It is standard operating procedure when a priest leaves, retires, that an audit of parish accounts is done. In my old diocese they did it every time a priest left even on a general transfer.

Many priests receive additional stipends from various apostolates, speaking fees, author payments, serving on boards etc. If his secretary was serving in a capacity for another group beyond her normal job, I expect she would be paid for it.

It sounds as if the NYDaily News is really short of news.
