Since politics fundamentally should be a moral enterprise, the Church in this sense has something to say about politics! Pope Benedict XVI Comment: The Church in America used to be called the Bully Pulpit! That is before then Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas shut up the Pastor’s across America with the 501c tax exemption. Back in the 1950’s the church pastor’s got on him for his illicit affairs. So he introduced the 501c. The 501c has worked to mute Pastor’s on almost every moral issue! Another fear they have is how many Christians would donate to a Religious organization if they got no tax deduction? Remember the 501c was instituted to cover up sin. Do we want to participate? We all will face God one day and we want our actions pleasing to Him! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
