The rcc got billions of dollars in covid relief that they have used to settle court ordered restitution, and buy real estate with. They also run daycares.
Frankly, the status of tax exemptions doesn't even seem relevant to the church - as they'll cut services first right now even as they sit like ticks on a torrent of breaks and funding. It's a disingenuous mobsters argument that we only believe because, deep down, we know that they're mobsters and that they'll do it. They'll prove it at our earliest convenience.
Right here in this thread we've had someone object that they shouldn't be forced to subsidize the church because the benefit does not go to things they value. I defy you to tell me that if that standard were applied to all 501©3 organizations, many of them would not pass, perhaps all.
I've been working for or organizing c3s for a decade now - never once had a compliance issue. It's not hard to be compliant.
I would suggest, again, that we can seperate the daycares from the criminal enterprises..and that, if we absolutely can't...perhaps daycares run by criminal enterprises should be shut down, anyway?
