The answer should be so what?
free speech is still free speech
If tax-funded organizations can run campaigns for Obama then how is this a problem?

Guilty as charged. What did Obama expect when he forced the Church to pay for abortions?

None of the bishops endorse a candidate. However, each reminded Catholics of the importance of preserving religious freedom against the HHS mandate, protecting innocent life, and defending the institution of marriage. Perfectly legal. CREW's claims to the contrary are lies and delight the Father of Lies.

And do black churches ever brazenly support Obama from the pulpit? Has that open practice stopped? Or do the rules only apply to us?

The IRS came out just last week and said they have no authority in the tax code concerning religion and politics.
This is being pushed by a legal group and pastors purposely challenging the mistaken idea that priests can’t advise puritioners about voting from the pulpit.

Our pastor preached about what to look for in a President, this past Sunday. Many Christian clergy did the same thing.
May God bless and keep these brave clergy.

It’s Barky’s choice to go against the Bible.
It’s the CHurch’s job to PREACH the Bible.
The Constitution guarantees the Church free EXERCISE of religion. Exercise is what you DO, not just what you think.
The IRS will not enforce this law, which was written by Lyndon Baynes Johnson and passed in 1954,
If they try to enforce it, they know the court will overturn it.

And you’re UGLY too!

As soon as we see some prosecution of leftist “electioneering”, like the poll workers openly campaigning for 0bama,
come talk to us.
Until then, just blow it out your nether orifices.

But it’s perfectly okay for Obama to push his mandate on us Catholics? Cry me a river and kiss my butt.
To: NYer
Too bad. They taught/preached to the conscience, heart, and souls of the congregation. The Holy Spirit will do the rest...

No US politician had ever dared to command a church to do something like Obamacare’s provisions before. What do you think was going to happen.

Did you see Flynn on The World Over (EWTN)?
Democrat but told Raymond he will be voting for Romney. The Demorats have taken the Catholic vote for granted, and they are mad.
Said that he has spoken with many Democratic Union Worker (rank and file) and they are voting for Romney.

Mr. Soros would dearly love to SQUASH the Catholic Church. The Church stands in the way of his vision for the world.

If they did they sure as heck did not do it very effectively. The Voter Guide put out in our diocesan paper was a muddled mish-mash of concern over the Obamacare mandate, mixed in generously with Social Justice concerns, Immigration amnesty, etc. In the end it was hard to tell just who they wanted you to vote for.
To: All
The USCCB may be engaged in prohibited electioneering, which would require the IRS to revoke its 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt status, according to CREW. The complaint cites letters written by Bishops including Daniel Jenky of Peoria, Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn, David Ricken of Green Bay, Edward Burns of Juneau, and Paul S. Loverde of Arlington.
Only four? Sad.
