I posted this in “religion” and got a bunch of opinions as answers. I’m looking for an actual date in history for when the Catholic church stopped having the power to wage wars across continents (with the Muslims for example – and others). And when did it stop having the ability to make laws that European nations abided by? Thanks for any help.
Is it legal for a church to distribute in their weekly bulletin at Sunday service a bulletin that has “paid political ad…” for/against a state amendment that is up for a vote?
Is it legal for the same church to post Christian Coalition of America on their website along with ValuesVoter link?
What are the church’s obligations as a tax-exempt organization as far as distribution of paid political ads and assocations with politcal groups?
