"Injecting itself aggressively into the health-care debate, the Roman Catholic Church in America has emerged as a major political force with the potential to upend a key piece of President Barack Obama’s agenda.
Behind-the-scenes lobbying, coupled with a grassroots mobilization of Catholic churches across the country, led the House Saturday to pass an amendment to its health-care bill barring anyone who receives a new tax credit from enrolling in a plan that covers abortion, a once-unthinkable event in Democrat-dominated Washington."
In the comments section is the inevitable:
“I think it’s fine for the Catholic Church to mix politics and policy, but to the extent they want to do that, they should lose their tax exempt status.”
I say, there is no price too high.
