[quote=Anonymous]We subsidize the Catholic Church because politically both Dems and Repblicans recognize that the art of winning an election centers around the ability to pandor to specific traunches of the electorate.  This country is represented by approximately 25% "Catholics" or roughly 90 million potential votes as seen by would be politicians.  Keep in mind we subsidize all "Religous" organizations to some degree but the Catholic Church is a special case. Clearly the most powerful, wealthy and soverign of all religeons, a bit of historical research behind the Catholic Church and its foundations will reveal that giving them tax breaks of any kind it tantamount to giving Bill Gates a welfare check or food stamps.  Not to mention the rampant scandal associated with the church which because of their power and influence is beyond the long arm of the law. Seems to me if for no other reason, all subsidies should be stopped and diverted to prosecuting the pedophiles their leader "The Pope" seems to feel are just a bit misguided and should be given the opportunity to repent with a fresh young boy in a town near you...Damn shame.[/quote]
