It occurred to me that even if a Catholic church actually followed the example of Christ and spent all its revenue making the world a better place and blah blah blah, I would *still* have a problem with it being tax exempt on the grounds that their core message is still one of batshit-insane buffoonery. It doesn't matter to me how well meaning you are if you're operating under the assumption that worldly wrongs can be forgiven by being fed a cracker over which a man in a stupid dress waved his hand. That shit does not parse with reality, and I fear those who think it does.
However, let it never be said I am inflexible. I have hit upon a brilliant idea in which they'll be able to peddle their brain-rotting bilge on my dime, and I'll be able to sleep soundly at night.
My compromise? Catholic churches can continue to blight the scenery at the taxpayer's expense if they're willing to install gigantic, blinking signs with "X days since we fucked your children". And it'd be updated every time a new scandal came to light in which an anointed pederast spread his seed betwixt the nethers of his pint-sized parishioners. There could even be a betting pool - guess the day when a bishop chafes his charges and win a year's supply of crackers! - with the proceeds going towards, say, building a new abortion clinic, or a rape counseling center.
A reasonable request, methinks.
