The “Church Tax” is a TITHE, or like an income tax. If you don’t have an income, you don’t pay the tax....or tithe.

Denying someone communion for removing himself from the Church tax rolls means they DID have an income: i.e. it won’t apply to indigent people without income enough to pay taxes (or a tithe).

I agree. My point was to make sure that others would not jump in and call the Church an elitist sort of club with no compassion for the poor. The Catholic Church does more for the poor far beyond any country in the world
