This is indeed a serious question for all those priests of oriental catholic churches who depend on the offerings and alms of the faithbul to assure their livelihood. The "Mass stipends" very often form a part of their monthly income." (p. 207) Madey, John. “Liturgical Offering and Alms: The ‘Stipend’ Issue in an Oriental Perspective.” The Harp 6:3 (1993): 207–16.
