Reply #52: Any Church's Tax Exempt Status Is NOT Inviolate

[KittyWampus]

if they cross a line they can lose their tax exempt status.

Again, neither the Pope NOR Catholic dogma single out the profession of politician or A POLITICAL PARTY when talking about whether this or that is a mortal sin.

That some Church Fathers are doing so is crossing the line.

If the Church wants to condemn abortion and deny all those who approve it Communion let them do so.

But to single out one profession (politician), one political party and one politician in regards to abortion breaches the wall seperating Church and State.

And you have again pretty much proved my point, by bringing up Martha.

They pick one person who is a POLITICIAN who belongs to one out of two POLTICAL PARTIES. As such, they are trying to make a POLITICAL POINT.

They have thus crossed the line.

If they were interested in making a valid, theological point without simultaneously making a POLITCIAL point, they could have easily done so.
