About this sermon
In a major shift, the IRS will now allow churches and other non-profits to endorse political candidates without risking their tax-exempt status—a change stemming from a lawsuit by religious broadcasters who argued it violated their First Amendment rights. The move, praised by President Trump, is being hailed by some as a victory for free speech and religious liberty. However, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says it won’t change how the Catholic Church engages in public debate, reaffirming that it will not endorse political candidates. The bishops say the Church seeks to help Catholics form their consciences in the Gospel so they might discern which candidates and policies would advance the common good.
