My Protestant Church survives on tithe

As did my old Catholic Church in Delaware and my Catholic Churches here in Poland

We're talking about Germany only -- where all Churches -- Catholic or Protestant get church tax collected by the state

I realize that as I said upthread. They mentioned the last time I was in Germany. They didn't seem to upset about it, I didn't hear any grumbles.

I'm talking about the sentence below.

...either the Church take the money this way, or it needs to get and share the tax details of its congregants.

I don't understand this sentence. Do you mean that if the Church doesn't get the tax, levied, I believe, by the state, then it needs to provide the equivalent of our 1040? Provide to who? The state already has it, that's where I'm confused.

So, you're in Poland, are you Polish or an American ex-pat? How is your country coming along economic wise? Do you know if I'd need a Visa to get into Poland?

I don't mean to drag up things from the past and I also know the Poles were NOT in on it, but have you ever visited Auschwitz?

Oh yeah, who has control over Gdansk/Danzig? Thank you,
