And I&amp;rsquo;m not making this up.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The IRS rejected a Christian group&amp;rsquo;s application for tax-exempt status because, in the judgment of the IRS, teaching Biblical values is the same as advocating for the Republican Party. From Fox Business &lt;a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/06/irs-denies-texas-based-christian-group-tax-exempt-status-claims-bibles-teachings-affiliated-gop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">via The Gateway Pundit&lt;/a>:&lt;/p>
&lt;blockquote>
&lt;p>“While you educate voters on what the bible says about issues, your educational activities are not neutral,” [the IRS] wrote. “The topics typically are affiliated with distinct candidates and specific political party platforms.”&lt;/p>
&lt;/blockquote>
&lt;p>Now that the US government has made it official, Fr. James Altman can take a victory lap.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Despite being suspended as pastor of his parish by weak and cowardly bishop, Altman declared in 2020 that Catholics cannot vote Democrat in a viral video.&lt;/p>

&lt;/div>
&lt;p>Some people are treating the IRS&amp;rsquo;s ruling as setback for Christianity. But this is a big win. The wicked government of the United States of America has finally admitted that it opposes God and hates the teachings of Christ.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This is why I have publicly &lt;strong>disavowed the United States government&lt;/strong>. You cannot be a Christian &lt;em>and&lt;/em> support the government of the United States which has become antithetical to both the Constitution and God.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Or to quote Fr. Altman: You can&amp;rsquo;t be a Catholic and vote Democrat.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The truth will out.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
