Supreme Court sides with Catholic Charities in case about tax exemptions and religion

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. it's not "essential". The Catholic church managed happily without for 1800 years.

And then it set up a charity, which does the same kind of thing as non-religious charities, ie help people, rather than convert people to their supernatural belief. But they have to pay taxes it doesn't.

This is an effect of the bizarre American genuflecting to religion, such that anything religion touches becomes sacred, literally. I suspect there are very few other countries where Caritas can evade taxes and get the nod of legal approval.

A truly caring charity would just pay the damn tax, to take care of its employees, and to be good citizens along with the rest of the country.
