Film at 11: A Church is not a PAC. A PAC is not a Church.

There's a move to revoke the LDS Church's tax-exempt status for violating the section of the Federal code that limits the use of such organizations to influence legislation.

This seems entirely appropriate to me.

Do As Thou Wilt.

If this goes through, it just means that the Church's organizational hierarchy would have to pay taxes on the currently-tax-free income they receive.

This may be a substantial sum, since the LDS mandates a 10% tithe from its adherents, but those "Devout Church Members who opposed Prop 8" won't see much impact beyond, perhaps, a little less gold plating in slightly-less-ostentatious tabernacles.
