I've been warning for 2 or 3 years now that ANY church that doesn't perform 'gay marriage' will lose its tax exempt status arguing it is similar to interracial marriage cases.
Today, the solicitor admitted as much.
This means each church will have to decide: Follow God or close your doors!

If religious schools do not turn a profit, then there is nothing to tax.

Follow God or close your doors! Not really. Just do not do anything taxable.

That’s not the only issue, if you donate to your church you will not be able to take a charitable contribution deduction off your taxes.

Is the Obama administration about to wage war on religious schools?

But the non profit status of the CLinton’s foundation that took in $149 million and paid out less than 6% in actual benefits will not be questioned.

If they can drop your non-profit status over this, why didn’t they do it over abortion?

Correct. But the churches will then be free to advocate for political causes openly. That is not a can or worms the Obama administration will open lightly.
To: GreyFriar
I wonder if this will actually galvanize the liberal Catholics on the Supreme Court - that it isn’t equal protection for homosexuals but a higher status in the law for a viewpoint and lifestyle.

MARRIAGE.
Churches that refuse to perform them will lose the status.
This happened to churches that refused interracial marriages and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld that.

To: GeronL
How do you operate a church completely outside the law?
No tax deductions for donations.
Millions owed in back taxes.
They’d destroy the Christian church in America.
