Trying again. I'm not aware of any risk to the property tax exemption in this repeal effort as the exemption has been blessed by the Supreme Court.  Also, my understanding is that only de minimus political contributions by churches would be tax-exempt (??).  In my earlier comment, I meant that after the repeal of the Johnson Amendment, the wise preacher still would not endorse a political candidate and risk antagonizing the flock. You do realize that 100 percent of everything you hear in a sermon is opinion, don't you?  And wouldn't it be nice if indeed there were more dialog between priest and parish, and bishops actually listened to their sheep?
