Sorry, but I think the “institution” in question was the Catholic Church. Who was ever taxed to support the private university of Harvard? No one as far as I know. I think the comment was about how annoyed the poster was about a gay priest stealing parishoner money to send a gay lover to a liberal university like Harvard.

Oy Vey! Read history. Early Massachusetts residents paid a Seminary tax and the money was used to support Harvard College. As for the Catholic Church... not my issue. I was insulted that Harvard was involved...

As written, the comment refers to Harvard a college that got public support by the Crown when it was founded in the 17th century. This country never collected taxes for the Catholic church.
