Catholic Leaders Threaten Obama With 100% Chance of Civil Disobedience
If the election affirms the Obama administration’s HHS mandate, there is a 100 percent chance that there will be civil disobedience in the Catholic Church, led by its bishops. Whether jail will follow is anyone’s guess.

I you read between the lines in that article, it says that the priests are going to only target boys of parents who voted for Obama for molestation.

"free exercise of" means that churches shouldn't have to pay taxes?

Individuals still have the right to free exercise. If anything, it's expanded by the law because they don't have to be at the mercy of their employers.
Organized religion has rules in this country; the penalty for violating them is the loss of tax-exemption. Granted, the bigoted assholes running the Church will never see consequences...

I think this applies to churches/religions who stay out of government business and don't tell or pressure their members how to vote. The Catholic Church has a poor record on child sexual abuse and pregnant women. They have no leg to stand on for anything, much less healthcare.

400 hospitals in the US are owned and operated by the Catholic Church. Another 300 plus are owned and operated by various Christian denominations that hold the same pro-life stance as the Catholics. Close them down.

Hey! What a great idea!
With 700 less hospitals, healthcare will be even harder to get!

Vette, the OP was about healthcare and the Catholic's Church against the ACA. Personally, I'm for complete separation of church and state and I'm a Christian.

So taxing religion more will produce less of it? Perfect.

So, you people think that only the Catholic church should be taxed, and only because they oppose abortion?
