I don't know which church denominations...but one should be the same as the other.

So, I think if left up to the new pope....he'd say "HELL NO"!!

FEMA denies aid to religious groups hit by Sandy

I can understand some of the requests. Whole communities.
It's a mess, alright.

It doesn't seem to phase this administration.....they are very selective

They haven't had a problem supporting muslims.

The most credible reason I've heard (and I do NOT necessarily agree) is that they are tax exempt and therefore pay no taxes. The argument then is why should they benefit from taxpayers $$$$$$$$? For the same reason as the example I listed above.

Churches are built and maintained by taxpayers, yes?
The church itself may be tax-exempt. Its members are not.
