horrific. :eek:

Are we back in the days of the Roman Republic or Ancient Egypt where the pagan priests would have to have their sermons and fake miracles approved by the ruling class?

The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.

It’s unbelievable. There is another thread on it already.

  1. The link in the OP is to an opinion piece, not a news story.
2.snopes.com/politics/religion/houston.asp

This isn’t exactly unprecedented, and it isn’t exactly how Fox spun it. A few churches are being investigated for possibly violating the tax exempt policies related to political activity.

You need to read the story. Snopes is the one spinning things.

From the subpoena:
“12. All speeches, presentations, or sermons related to HERO, the Petition, Mayor Annise Parker, homosexuality, or gender identity prepared by, delivered by, revised by, or approved by you or in your possession.”
