Anti-War Sermon Leads IRS to Probe Church for Tax Violations
Anti-War Sermon Leads IRS to Probe Church for Tax Violations

The IRS is investigating whether All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena violated the federal tax code when its former rector, Rev. George F. Regas, delivered an anti-war sermon on the eve of the last presidential election.

Tax-exempt organizations are barred from intervening in political campaigns and elections, and the church could lose its tax-exempt status.

1. That would be the Bushoilini IRS, of course.
Heaven forbid they investigate churches hosting "pro-war sermons"!!! Two words: Fred Phelps.

2. So it is okay for rw churches to give their membership lists to the
GOP but not for a minister to talk about the morality of a war? Hypocrites.

3. Two Words: Justice Sundays
This is harrassment, plain and simple.
