Please I'm only asking to know and is not an avenue to bash any religion or men of God.I have been to other churches and i have also heard and see pastors putting their offering during offertory, alongside their members.but is the other way round in the catholic church,its left alone for members to come out during offertory.is it that they do theirs secretly or what?my amiable nairalanders your comment on these topic.

Catholic priests generally have no other source of upkeep but offertory, or donations from members of their parish. In fact, all that they possess belongs to the church and is not theirs. Therefore, it would be a little silly to take from the church and give to the church.

That said, it is not unheard of for a priest visiting a foreign parish to give offertory.
