Get the church's tax free status challenged. That will prevent this in the future.
That's exactly what it takes. I've seen it work before with a Baptist preacher who was stepping a bit possibly over that line.

"church's" means all churches. Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. Are you suggesting all churches? You tax one you tax them all.
Taxes would probably break most churches therefore creating a bigger secular hole for all of us to fall in.
