I wonder what the pope thinks about the death penalty as it was used in the 1st century, and it's outcome, even to today.

Trump gonna end up taxing all churches


Wading too far into politics may cause them to lose their tax exempt status.

Under US law, they must follow the same IRS guidelines as other 501(c)(3) organizations, including prohibitions on endorsing political candidates, excessive lobbying, or operating as a commercial enterprise.

Key factors regarding potential loss of tax-exempt status:

Political Activity: The IRS prohibits churches from endorsing or opposing candidates, which is a key threat to exempt status.


While the Catholic Church is historically exempt, these rules apply to all non-profit organizations. The IRS has investigated churches for breaking these

I would like the US Govt to issue a Warning to the Vatican that US tax exempt laws may no longer apply to any church that becomes a political advocacy organization or acts like one.

The pope can just STFU. It’s obvious he is only trying to target Trump. Doing work for the Dems heading into mid terms.

That’s just you, pussy. Go douche and put in a tampon for your bleeding TDS vag. Call Tim Walz, one of the commies you voted for in November 2024. He can probably give you one.

Lots of Catholics getting abortions and still being allowed to stay in the church. Lots of dim Catholics in D.C. back abortions


Never mind all that. The Pope has to go after Trump because his gay bathhouse Chicago bro, Obama, asked him to.

What do you expect him to say about capital punishment?


Only the U.S. carries out government executions? Do we lead the world in government executions of prisoners?
