With the government getting out of the government
business in America, charity for the poor will fall on the Churches who now
need cash and taxes to dole out soup to the poor.
In Germany, the RC Church is asserting its rights to
collect taxes from “catholics” baptized at birth against their will and who now
must support all the charity work and all the lawyers fees of all the buggering of children leisure hobby of the clergy there.
"This decree makes clear that one cannot partly leave the
Church," Germany's bishops' conference said last week, in a decision
endorsed by the Vatican.
Unless they pay the religious tax, Catholics will no longer be
allowed receive sacraments, except before death, or work in the church and its
schools or hospitals.
Without a "sign of repentance before death, a religious
burial can be refused," the decree states. Opting out of the tax would
also bar people from acting as godparents to Catholic children.
"This decree at this moment of time is really the wrong
signal by the German bishops who know that the Catholic church is in a deep
crisis," Christian Weisner from the grassroots Catholic campaign group We
are Church told the BBC.
