"Cruz later claimed that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had said during last month’s Supreme Court marriage equality arguments that if marriage equality is legalized nationwide, the IRS will start denying tax-exempt status to churches. (In the exchange Cruz referred to, Verrilli had said nothing of the sort.)"

The author is lying. Verrilli DID say something "of the sort." He did not deny that opposition to gay marriage could affect the tax status of private colleges, and by implication churches as well. He said it was an open issue.
