Did Catholic Bishops cross the line when they used their influence in the debate on healthcare.

I believe they did.

Yes they should.

So you think all those Black Churches that supported Obama and used their pulpits to preach his election should lose their tax exempt status? Or is that different?

Yes they should lose their tax exempt status too.

Absolutely if they preach politics form the pulpit they should lose their tax exempt status.
They might as well be punished here before they burn in hell for all eternity.

Jesus was not a political man.

So all those black churches?

All black churches did that?

IRS regulations allow clergy to preach about moral or political issues, as long as they don’t favor one candidate over another.

Internal Revenue Service regulations forbid all tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organizations — including churches — from promoting or endorsing candidates.

And yet all those black churches did EXACTLY that.

All of them?

ROFLMNAO... and ANOTHER advocate of that Separation comes to demonstrate the one-way nature of that separation.

Bad news kids... Religious people are perfectly entitled to participate and influence their governance and the Government is forbidden by the US Constitution from influencing thier religion, church or beliefs.

Now how cool is THAT?
