Group asks IRS to investigate NJ Catholic Bishop and NM church for blasting candidates supporting abortion



USA Today reports:

A church-state watchdog group has asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether the Roman Catholic bishop of Paterson, N.J., violated tax laws by denouncing Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama.

In a letter sent to the IRS on Wednesday (Oct. 22), Americans United for Separation of Church and State accused Paterson Bishop Arthur Serratelli of illegal partisanship for lambasting Obama’s support of abortion rights . . .

    Well they are right – Obama is a death rep and McCain at least is willing to let some babies get a pass on late term abortion.
    I only hope God does not destroy us in a long drawn out misery because of abortion.
