Woild it be better if all Churches were not Tax Exempt?

[irishpatrick]

I believe most Christian Churches (including the Catholic Church), often find it hard to preach in the politcal world, fearing they will lose tax exempt status. Yet, Jesus did say give to Ceasar…

So, would Christianity be better served if it gave-up its tax exempt status?

well in Orwells animal farm we saw how some of the original rules were changed when the pigs took over the farm…what was once…all are equal…became…all are equal but some are more equal then others!!!..for years a member of the establishment…lower branch…used to preach in African _American churchs and register the members into the Demoncrat party…and Jesse Jackson got away with it…so this concept of tax exemption re: church and state is not written in stone…

Yes, and I think the Church would be a much stronger witness if it was not tax exempt.

I think that, down the road perhaps, if these “community organizations” have their way (promoting Liberation Theology) which are suckering in various ecclesial communities as well as some Catholic parishes, it will likely happen. It is a form of Marxism, although perhaps Marxism-lite.

These groups are proliferating at an increasingly alarming rate, and they are sneaky at covering their ties/goals to political activism, using the language of Christianity, bringing in speakers to talk of Martin Luther King and his work, when what their true goal is is to “remake” the Church, thus destroying it. They have as their foundational group, Call to Action.

People, good Catholics – if you really care about the future and survival of our Church in America, please spread the word about this scourge. The dissenters have got a foothold in many places.
And pray! It is bad in some places (like NM, CA and WI)

God bless,
