Tax the Catholic Church

[Socionics Is A Cult]

Not only do churches avoid tax, when they run charities, they generally run them far less efficiently than comparable secular charities.

Of course if churches actually paid their fair share of tax, it would reduce the burden of all citizens, and give them more disposable income to dispose of as they please.

All too common you not only see religious institutions thinking they have a god-given right to not pay their fair share of tax, they think they have a god-given right to harbour those who have committed crimes.

If religious institutions wish to excuse themselves from tax on spiritual grounds, it would be easier to believe their sincerity if they followed the words attributed to Jesus: “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

I would not say harbor in my own case. Pedos and Heretics are birds of a feather, so of course they cover for each other. Fun Fact, a Priest is obligated under pain of excommunication to not tell the cops (or anyone for that matter period) what a person confessed in the confessional no matter how hard they pressure him. This is why that scene is kinda a common thing in older pop culture. You can spill the beans to your local Catholic priest. He won't tell the po-po, your family/closest friends, etc.

Kinda like why so many prostitutional visits do not result in full on penetrative sex in modern times. Nobody's gonna believe a whore, so you can use one like a type of therapist. Though I will take exception in regards to how you think that religious charities paying taxes would be a good thing. The Gov't Dole is there to buy votes for commies, let's be honest here. A "religious" charity worth it's salt would not give the "mother" of 14 babies by 14 different baby daddies the time of day. Yet our current welfare system does with gusto! I can go into a rant about this topic, but that'd make me guilty of every sin under the intersectional inquisition's purview...

I am in general disagreement with your post.
