Just stop taking federal money and tax exemptions. Is it really that difficult? And everyone knows Obama follows no God but rather sees himself as we identify a communist government.... Stupid article.

Ha! It appears government money turns everyone into liberals.

The Church is not taking Federal money. The only thing that used to get some support was Catholic Charities, which actually had a lot of agencies in a lot of places essentially doing the work that local jurisdictions either couldn’t or wouldn’t do.

Many Catholics stopped contributing to Catholic Charities long ago, and actually, it’s come full circle, because now the “Catholic” in their name doesn’t get them money from Catholics but it also virtually excludes them from getting Federal money for a lot of the good programs they used to run (such as adoption, etc.) because the newer more orthodox bishops have forbidden them to adopt to gays and do many other things that they would otherwise be doing. This funding was not in the form of direct grants, but for running programs for the disadvantaged or persons in crisis.

It’s a bad thing in many ways; Planned Parenthood wanted the Church driven out of the adoption business so that they could tell girls there was no option to abortion, and as usual, PP got what it wanted.
