Ministers to defy IRS

According to a New York Times article, a group of ministers are going to defy the IRS, challenge the law, and endorse a presidential candidate. This takes place after the IRS seriously investigated the liberal All Saints Episcopalian Church in Pasadena, CA for supposedly endorsing John Kerry by having a sermon critical of the Iraq War immediately prior to the 2004 election.

I hope these ministers go forward with their plans, wielding their power to influence the weak of mind who can't make their own decisions. But then maybe we can start taxing their, and everybody's, religious organizations who feel the same way. I'm sorry but Rick Warren and the Catholic Church are not not-for-profits. And in 2004, the Catholic Church tacitly endorsed George W. Bush when it sought to deny Kerry, and other like-minded people, communion because of his pro-choice stance.
