Strictly speaking, the compensation money has already been collected from the parishioners, so they aren't paying it as it is no longer theirs. However, it was obviously mostly given in good faith, so the Church has effectively taken it under false pretences. Whether they did that unwittingly or not is another question and not easily answered but what Joe says is quite true - that in a sense all Catholics were betrayed at least to some degree, but I don't think anyone has any doubt as to who was betrayed the most.
