The government changes the rules and this is what happened. I think that Paul and his gay friends can make up the difference when the catholic church closes its charity organizations. And the government can help these people who were helped by the catholic agencies by adding them to the welfare rolls without a ,like workfare.
And increase your taxes as a result.
This post does not make sense. Care to try again?

Equal treatment under the law is a constitutional requirement. If churches wish to work with government they must also, as agents of the government, abide by the constitution. What's the problem.
