The US clergy are experts at sending mixed messages that green-light voting for pro-abort dims. They seemed to have missed the point that Jesus said nothing about what form governments should take. A Catholic’s duty to give to charity is the same for all time and for all places. Paying taxes is not a charitable act b/c it is mandatory and therefore lacks the ediffying benefit of a truly charitable act.

One of the greatest jobs we as Catholics can do is put the USCCB out of business.

And voting to force others to pay more taxes is, likewise, no charitable act.
