Not how it works. Claiming you’re a church is a get out of jail, or in this case taxes, free card. Just like with the “church” of Scientology, if those scam artists haven’t lost tax free status there’s no way in hell the Catholic church is in any danger. Besides, the Cathoilic church (and most other churches in the US) have been neck deep in politics here for many decades if not a century at this point. Edit: also to clarify churches in the US are not non-profit, they’re just tax exempt.
