no paid ministry
The LDS Church has long claimed to have no paid clergy, distinguishing itself from other churches. However, leaked documents revealed that general authorities receive significant "living allowances" of around $120,000 annually, plus other benefits. Local leaders serve without pay, creating a two-tiered system. Members who sacrifice time and money feel deceived by claims of an unpaid ministry when top leaders are compensated.
