While the IRS move applies across the country, Texas — with more than 200 megachurches — will be the epicenter for pastors and congregations to test out their new influence, one expert said.
Not that I agree with this, but now that this is possible, could the Vatican (at least for those churches that take orders from it) force a US wide political stance? Don’t let individual churches have their own choice as only the pope knows what’s best for America?
Before the election, the catholic church only said something like “Americans have a tough choice. One side wants to harm immigration, and the other side wants to restore abortions.”
I guess yeah, that kind of reads like they are saying to choose Trump. But the church is pretty tired of Trump already, so if they actually wanted to endorse whomever was on the ballot against him, I feel like they together have more members than the fractured message that could come from all the Protestant churches. Unless somehow all the Protestant churches all agreed they liked Trump. Usually the Protestant churches are not all on the same page though.

Most christians in the US are not Catholic, least of all the evangelist nutjobs
I wonder if those evangelists can unify more people to a candidate than all the Catholics though.
They just did didn’t they?

No I’m saying that evangelicals already did.
