The priest feeds and nourishes his people with the food from heaven.

Are Protestant pastors who make far more money and get far more perks than any priests "freeloading?"  If priests were in it solely for the money, they would be Protestant.  As long as we are talking money---I am sure you are aware of that.

I will say that lazy priests who do nothing--are freeloading and that is wrong.  Priests who are not there for their people in times of crisis, joy, sorrow, etc, are freeloading and that is wrong.
