Regarding: "The court also found that Trinity Lutheran Church in Missouri is eligible for a state grant to resurface its playground despite the state constitution’s ban on government funding of churches. "
- Now the state gets to monitor the spending of money and the safety design of the playground.
- As every catholic hospital and university is aware, when one accepts government money, one then has the government as a dance partner who dictates what steps are required.
- No doubt,  in most cases, this partnership is not a burden. However, religious people especially catholics have to ask themselves: Is this what is wanted? Would not be better for the 'people of God to pay for what the people of God want' rather than looking for ways to redirect tax money to institutions that are supposedly separate from government apparatuses and goals.
