God vs IRS

IRS backs pastors' political activities (OneNewsNow.com) When liberals like The Reverend Jesse Jackson speak on the social issues of the day, he is lauded by the liberals as an enlightened and progressive spokesman on these issues. When a conservative Roman Catholic Church official speaks out on a social issue, suddenly it is a serious problem and it is a violation of the separation of church and state and a good reason for the Internal Revenue Service to revoke their tax exempt status. Recently, a group of liberals complained that some conservative Christian pastors were meeting an discussing political issues. They wanted the IRS to investigate and revoke the tax exempt status of the Christian churches. Amazingly, the churches won their argument. The liberals have blurred the line between the political and religious by constantly taking social issues to the courts, and into politics. The Church has often spoken out on matters that relate to their views on social issues. Suddenly when a church does it, too many liberals see this as a problem. They simply want to use the force of government to silence opposition to their immoral agenda; that's the view from the Hysterical Right Wing.

As I recall, some years ago Oregon decided to revoke the tax exempt status on churches. The Catholics simply closed their schools and dumped their students into the public ed system saying that they could not afford to keep their schools open. Oregon capitulated.

I am glad the Catholics won. High stakes however.
