From the 'Monumental Hypocrisy' Department

Feast your eyes on this bucket of frigging bilgewater - an Episcopal church in Pasadena, CA is being threatened with losing its tax-exempt status because of an anti-war sermon. Mind you that the rector did not endorse one party or the other - which many churches definitely did in the run up to the last presidential election. The Roman Catholic bishop in Colorado Springs [Michael Sheridan] came out very directly and advised the Catholics in Colorado that voting for Kerry would be a sin. Somehow I doubt that was an isolated incident. But if a person of the cloth dares to speak out against WAR [hello - WWJD?] then their church quickly gets the federal smackdown via the IRS. What a bunch of *$#! scuttlebut.
