Good.
If the church wants to cross the line of church state separation, they can join everyone else in paying taxes for the privilage. Else preach the gospel, not politics.

I wonder how one's religious/spiritual view of the world is meant to not affect one's political leanings? How can one be a good Christian and then go out and endorse policies which are against the teachings of Christ?

Just a thought.

The catholic church meddles in politics all the time why is the IRS not bothering them?

all i can say is...it's about time someone went after them...they've gotten a free ride for too long. getting rich off of the hard working people by charging admission into services...at least that's what i call it, every service they pass around those little plates for money...it's like saying; "thank you, We hope you enjoyed the show"

Religion is politics - absolutely and fundamentally.
