I found this hilarious:

Almost 25 percent of the world’s AIDS patients are cared for in Catholic institutions alone.

These religious institutions should have to operate as non-profits, they should not be given special treatment of any kind with regards to their tax status. Harvey, I agree completely.

Even if we overlook the fact that when these institutions don't have to pay taxes for their "religious" activities and/or the buildings and properties in which these activities are supposed to take place, they invariably find ways to extend these activities under the guise of "charity", usually managing to couple some religious messaging or proselytizing in the process. Even worse, but usually" under the radar", they glibly choose not to notice that all of the rest of us, including their objectionable minority of the minute, have to pay the taxes that they are "free" from. I believe that any such activity that flies in the face of the U.S. Constitution or the duly passed laws of this Republic should be immediate grounds for the Attorney General to begin proceedings to cancel tax free staus.

I think they've said they'd close all their hospitals if FOCA ever passes, and they would withdraw their efforts in Africa if compelled to supply condoms. The CC has repeatedly demonstrated that dogma is more important to them than any humanism. Don't ever let a Catholic tell you it's a humanist faith. It has to be one of the most anti-human form of Xtianity there is. Isn’t this sooo “Catholic Church” tho?
