Did y'all see this bit about Bishops from the Catholic Church filing Amicus briefs supporting the ban of the AR-15?

Separation church and state. If they want to get political than tax them.

Far as I’m concerned, any church with a congregation over 500 should be taxed. It’s no longer a church, it’s a business!

I don't believe I ever heard bout nobody being diddled by a nun.....

me as well, just not my entire family, only a few...regarding, left the church.

they (the church)......should be aware of..."separation of church and state"

as much as the cities and states have to be aware of........like for instance, "no christmas decorations on government lands or on the buildings"...

so frankly, the church needs to RESPECT that separation, as it is NOT a "one way street"

The Church has always been a power grab.

There is a huge amount of truth to that statement. My uncle was a priest, he had a bad distaste for those mega-churches. He once said basically that when the pastor lives in a multi-million dollar house, brings home large 6 figure incomes and he and his wife drive very expensive exotic vehicles, it's no longer a church, it's a faith based business. He was also very adamant that one should not have to provide tax returns to the church so they in turn charge you a certain percentage of your income to worship at the church.
We have several here in town that do exactly that.
