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.

I would LOVE to see the Mormons, and for that matter, the Catholics and the Scientologists lose their tax exemptions. Problem is that the major faiths in this country have what amounts to a mexican standoff; stop recognizing the other guy's church and he stops recognizing YOURS as a 'legitimate faith'.

You know, we have the makings of one hell of a sect war/balkans war, in this country. :p

That's one of my issues with the idea; would it have any momentum at all if it were a more mainstream faith, rather than a sect that the Mainstream considers only marginally more legitimate than Scientology?

Of course, the more traditional Protestant faiths don't have much in the way of a Central Organization to lay suit to.

I'm going to discuss this further, either after work this evening, or over the weekend.
