Because the Catholic Church is the largest and oldest organized Christian entity. The protestant churches are numerous and none have the structure of the Catholic Church. Many protestant sects have split over the years due to differences in doctrinal belief; the Catholic Church has remained intact. The Church represents the biggest threat to the leftists/communists/socialists, etc. because it does what government has never been able to do nor has ever wanted to do well—run schools, hospitals, nursing homes, food pantries, and charities all over the world in keeping with Christ’s message. If the Catholic Church falls, so does the rest of Christianity. The left has managed to infect many branches of protestant sects. They have even infiltrated the Catholic Church i.e., Pope Francis. Yet, they still have not destroyed it. My statement is not a claim about moral superiority over protestants. And Nancy Pelosi is not Catholic no matter how much she says she is just like Obama is not a Christian as he claimed he was.
Churches do not “rent” halls for weddings. They make them available for weddings in accord with that church’s beliefs. Often they suggest a donation to cover utilities, custodial, and other expenses. Oftentimes they don’t ask even that. And they don’t require that. Nor did I take money for conducting weddings or funerals.
I ensured such language was in our facilities policy.
