Churches that get into politics MUST be stripped of their tax-exempt status. It isn't fair that they can support this crap with tax-free money from out of state while we have to oppose it with taxed money. Even the evil super pacs have had the money taxed before the Koch brothers give it to them.

And churches wonder why people are becoming less and less interested in organized religion...like I really want the Catholic Church telling non-Catholics how to live their lives. I'm voting no to religious oppression!

Catholics get off on imposing their narrow, myopic view on the rest of society. They continue to live in the dark ages of a top-down mentality.

I'm guessing they don't raise a dime for the victims of sex abuse.

So we're to have Papal theology written into the Minnesota constitution? No way!

We, in the Catholic Church, did not invent marriage, but we do protect it for the sake of men, women, children, and society as a whole. We will do so without apology and without fail. We are not alone either, for all around us are non-Catholics, non-Christians, and even those of no faith at all. The vast majority of the state, the nation, and the world know what marriage is and will defend it. Vote YES!

The catholic church has 2000 years of being on the wrong side of morality and acting completely against the teachings of Jesus Christ. From killing during the crusades, Charging money for absolution of sins, and now gay marriage. The church has proven it is more about power than Christ.

"Church officials said the money isn't coming from collection plates."...Even if it isn't, they should keep out of our business. And why are we voting on this issue, that's so concerning to Catholics anyway? Keep religion out of our politics!
