Thou shalt not steal?
Tuesday, 4 September 2007 by Jacob TomawWalter E. Williams reports it will soon be pontificated that tax avoidance is a sin.
Prof. Williams asks the Bishop of Rome
Should the Roman Catholic Church support the welfare state? Or, put more plainly, should the Church support the use of the coercive powers of government to enable one person to live at the expense of another? Put even more plainly, should the Church support the government’s taking the property of one person and giving it to another to whom it doesn’t belong?
Catholics may be in the spotlight here, but all to often when I am at the Temple or read the Social Principles I wonder the same thing about the UMC.
