Pope Pius Blew It Big Time

[Flanders]

Talk about nipping on the cooking sherry! Pius must have been slugging down the sacramental wine pretty good when he did this:

As a man who made it a hobby to keep up with the latest developments in the sciences, Pope Pius was fascinated by the emergence of television as the hot, new communications medium of the 1950s. The possibilities of the new technology impressed him, so much so that in 1958 he gave television its own patron saint: he chose St. Clare of Assisi, whose feast day was two days ago, August 11. At first glance it is hard to see any link between TV and a 13th-century cloistered nun, but stayed tuned.​

Pope Frank needs to balance the score by naming a saint for those of us who want to eliminate the advertising tax deduction:

Take Money Out Of Television

Mother Angelica, a Poor Clare, founded the Eternal Word Television Network. She surely had some heavenly help along the way. Sherry doesn't factor in at all.

To Compost: My arguments is that every tax deduction given to religions, charities, political causes, etc. is passed on to those who disagree with the message.

When people donate to religious groups, it's tax-deductible. Churches don't pay property taxes on their land or buildings. When they buy stuff, they don't pay sales taxes. When they sell stuff at a profit, they don't pay capital gains tax. If they spend less than they take in, they don't pay corporate income taxes. Priests, ministers, rabbis and the like get "parsonage exemptions" that let them deduct mortgage payments, rent and other living expenses when they're doing their income taxes. They also are the only group allowed to opt out of Social Security taxes (and benefits).​

You give religions more than $82.5 billion a year
By Dylan Matthews

You give religions more than $82.5 billion a year​

NOTE: Charity ripoffs has gotten so bad that tax revenues are paid directly to churches. The Catholic Church et al. recieve tens of millions of tax dollars every year to help immigrants and United Nations refugees settle in. I doubt if a majority of American Catholics agree with their priesthood supporting unwanted immigrants —— on top of paying to lose their own country with their own tax dollars.

Does the Eternal Word Television Network take product advertising? I ask because television is the worst tax dollar recipient offender using the public airwaves to force everybody to pay for television ministries, Socialism’s message, the welfare state, and United Nations propaganda. The lord only knows what else product advertising pays for.

Incidentally, television is campaigning for Hillary Clinton with tax dollars. How many Americans would willingly contribute to putting a crook back in the White House? Television advertising is doing just that.

All of it is offensive on top of being a violation of the First Amendment.

First Amendment​

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .​

Just a reminder that every dollar given to the Clinton Foundation is passed onto the backs of taxpayers. Perhaps that is why Hillary loves taxation for everybody except her.

To Compost: How do you know!

Let's see. A cloistered nun from Clare's group, was called upon by the Holy Spirit to start a network that would share the Word all over the world. She did that and more. That same Holy Spirit spoke to Pope Pius. St. Clare was made the patron saint of TV. Coincidence or work of God? I believe the latter.

Meanwhile, the wine used at Mass is not necessarily sherry.

Your "jokes" about Saints and Popes and sherry are not only unfunny but based in ignorance.
Personally, I try not to make fun of other people's faith.

As to the tax exemption- if you don't like it- contact your elected representatives and work to get the law(s) changed.

To Compost: Believe what you will, but spare me the supernatural fairy tales. And do not expect me to pay for them through the tax code.

To Compost: Going to elected representatives who created the exemption is the height of naiveté. They are not stupid enough to cut their own financial throats. It will take a constitutional amendment to repeal the XVI Amendment that pays to promote the beliefs of every crackpot like you. I would like to see how long every piece of crap survives when parasites have to pay for it out of their own pockets.

Incidentally, do you also believe Muslim horseshit?

Finally, you did not say if the Eternal Word Television Network acquires tax dollars from product advertising?

To aris2chat: Okay.

Parenthetically, you can identify popes with Roman numerals, but I should tell you that popes have never been more than hustling priests in fancy dress.

Flanders, you are in my prayers.

Flanders, you are in my prayers.

To Compost: Do not wear out your knee pads. My God does not hear your prayers.

Frankly, people who believe in God, but not religion, do not give a damn what others pray to. Perhaps that is why popes are always praying. I always thought they were trying to convince themselves that there is a God. If there is an organized religion’s God popes are never sure their guy is listening.

A cynic might say that popes have been praying for 2,000 years and things are getting worse not better.

The charitable tax deductions Bubba’s wealthy donors took stole from every American taxpayer.

Bill Clinton: Clinton Foundation Like Robin Hood, Except We're Not Robbing Anybody

Bill Clinton: Clinton Foundation Like Robin Hood, Except We're Not Robbing Anybody​

Robin Hood stole from the tax collector! So if Bubba is Robin Hood who the hell is the Sheriff of Nottingham?

The Clinton Foundation is a giant vampire squid with its filaments wrapped around the world and its blood funnel jamming relentlessly into anything that smells like money. That’s OK, people say, it’s a charity. They might be right on paper, but make no mistake – the main beneficiaries of the Clinton Foundation are the Clintons.

What percentage of Clinton Foundation money goes to real and actual charities? If you define “actual charities not controlled by the Clintons” as “programmatic grants,” then it appears the number is 15%.​

Clinton Foundation Admit 85% Of Donations Do Not Go To Charity​

The poor never got doodly-squat out of the remaining 15 percent. Most of that money went into the pockets of the charity hustlers who “administer” the charities in Third World countries. A minute number of poor people were damn lucky if they got a bowl of soup out of the deal.
