Should churches get tax exemption?
Is there no end to the political involvement of our churches? It is obvious the attack on President Biden by the Catholic Church is purely political. If the bishops are so concerned about politicians going against the church teachings, why aren’t they up in arms about all the Republicans who are for the death penalty?
How about all the priests and cardinals, especially Cardinal Dolan of New York, who not only supported Trump, but considered him a “great friend.” Dolan said his support didn’t mean he agreed with his views. He was just trying to not divide the country. They never addressed Trump’s asking his girlfriend to have an abortion, his disrespect of women, his blatant racism and his support of the white supremacists.
This seems to be a double standard to me. Billy Graham was never partisan. Why do churches that become involved in politics continue to retain their tax exemption?
