Notice the expense and time and it was all due to lowly civil servants exercising their might. Now rethink the Illinois Catholic adoption issue.A Superior Court judge on Nov. 18 issued an opinion that would throw out an attempted multi-million-dollar “delinquent” tax bill imposed on the Archdiocese of San Francisco by the San Francisco assessor/recorder, Phil Ting, after a more than three-year legal fight…Ting’s effort to collect the tax had been supported by the city’s Transfer Tax Review Board, consisting of three city employees, which concluded the archdiocese was not exempt from a transfer tax…
The archdiocese also noted that the proposed tax had the illegal effect of charging the archdiocese a fee to exercise its constitutional right to organize according to its religious needs…Wesolek continued, “The Assessor/Recorder apparently expected the archdiocese to roll over in the face of this attack but underestimated the resolve of the church. It is unfortunate that the miscalculation forced the archdiocese to spend more than three years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees to defeat this illegal action, but the archdiocese is hopeful that the Assessor/Recorder’s office will now be dissuaded from taking similar measures in the future.”

All part of the left’s plan against the Church. They use taxpayer funds while the Church has to use Her funds.Notice the expense and time and it was all due to lowly civil servants exercising their might. Now rethink the Illinois Catholic adoption issue.

This sounds like an important victory, but its not quite over. The final ruling won’t be until January 9th, after which the city may decide to appeal.
