Oh, but I
can see the differences:
The Pope was engaging in extortion (your soul is damned if you legislate in favor of choice) and his church will not suffer any consequences as a result.
The pastor of the Episcopalian church was making points (without any extortion) about war and poverty, and his church was (is) the subject of an invasive investigation by the IRS.
There's quite a difference between the two, and I think the consequences should have been reversed (U.S. Catholic church should lose its tax-exempt status, Episcopalian church should be applauded).
Which difference were you referring to?
(And thank you for the pity. Makes me smile ...
