Remember when Reagan asked...

Well the taxes not collected from the Crystal Cathedral alone could support any number of underfunded social programs. I'd gladly have not seen the Catholic Church acquire the necessary prime land then build a edifice that cost the faithful almost $200 million in Los Angeles.

All tax free and all while allowing individual LA parishes to declare bankruptcy to avoid paying court judgments.

What applies to small community churches eventually gets abused by larger religious organizations. Better they all pay their way and let those who that can attract necessary donations (taxes included) survive.

edit: to emulate Gutty but mostly to avoid grammar nazis.
