Um - YOU said it was a religion organization

“This may be the first time, a the leaders of a religious organization are defendants in a federal R.I.C.O. (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act) lawsuit. This could have profound repercussions on how church leaders are accountable to their donors on where and how their offerings and donations are spent - “

It’s a religious charity ostensibly for religious purposes.

That’s why we have that pesky separation of church and state.

As for suing a building contractor.... As I pointed out before what these religious leaders did is peanuts to what our elected government officials have done time and time again. Why are they not subject to the same RICO laws?

The Leaders, NOT the organization.
Sorry I did not make that clear.
The “church” is not being sued.
The individuals who allegedly ripped off the church are.
Hope that clears things up.
