Churches' tax exemption

Discuss the second installment of this week's Dust-Up.

Comments will close after two days.

From the Los Angeles Times

Todays churches have become active political campaigners, going so far as to threaten parish members if they vote for the opposition party. The separation of church and state is not being followed, and these churches should have lost their tax exempt status long ago.

I think it is outrageous that the Catholic church is giving opinions on abortion from the pulpit and talking about Biden and Pelosi not being able to take communion.On that alone,I think the IRS should take their exemption away.They have gone after All Saints Church in Pasadena for less.
