10% in lieu of taxes? I like it.
But of course none of these things are prosecuted in officially Catholic countries, so.....strawman.
In lieu of taxes? No, sorry. The church will just have the power to demand you tithe 10% to the church. The gov't will still tax you. Someone has to pay salaries, for the military, for highways and roads, for police & fire fighters, etc etc.
