As an old man told me his daddy always told him “If someone gives you money, they’re going to tell you how to spend it.”

When the church takes money from the government the church is going to end up doing what the government tells it to do. You cannot serve two masters.

As everywhere it should be- the Church, any church, should not be accepting any money from the state or any government entity. With the money comes control and inevitably requirements that conflict with the mission and with the religion itself.

All around the world governments are foisting this crap on populations that don’t want it.
