re: #236 Daniel Ballard

A pastor has his rights like you and I. If his speech is restricted at the pulpit with the threat of taxation we have diminished that right. If a Catholic priest speaks out for immigrant rights, does his church than lose the exemption? I would say not.

I don’t see how that can be enforced objectively or fairly.

Is the pastor speaking for himself or as a spokesperson for an organized church? A spokesperson for any other organization will be taxed, as will the organization without any reduction in individual rights.

You are conflating a pastor operating as an individual with a pastor representing an organization.
