No, rather than follow an immoral law, the Church will instead get out of the charity business.

That seems to be what will happen. I wonder why it didn't happen in Massachusetts or other places, though.

Giving charity is Job #1 for the Church, ma’am. The right way appears to be complying with the law (which makes the Church ineligible to participate in any DC-generated charity effort) and to provide services on a go-it-alone basis, without reference to the DC ‘government’. I don’t know how that would be framed or constituted but behaving lawfully and obeying Jesus Christ is what the Church must do.

This is a power play on the part of the State to subjugate the Church. Has happened before and will happen again. Usual result is: Church suffers in the near term, State collapses and many people die in the long term.

Sure wish there was another way to correct this, but that’s the historical record in the matter. Just history repeating itself by aid of people who believe that history doesn’t apply to them (assuming they’re aware that history is available on the topic).
