Final nail, soon we will find out which churches are doing the lord's work, and which are in it for the $$$$$. . Looks like they added an amendment to the bill to protect churches from this. Tillis Helps Secure Robust Religious Freedom Protections in The Respect for Marriage Act The Senators’ bipartisan amendment: - Protects all religious liberty and conscience protections available under the Constitution or Federal law, including but not limited to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and forbids this bill from being used to diminish or repeal any such protection. - Confirms that non-profit religious organizations will not be required to provide any services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage. - Guarantees that this bill may not be used to deny or alter any benefit, right, or status of an otherwise eligible person or entity – including tax-exempt status, tax treatment, grants, contracts, agreements, guarantees, educational funding, loans, scholarships, licenses, certifications, accreditations, claims, or defenses – provided that the benefit, right, or status does not arise from a marriage. For instance, a church, university, or other nonprofit’s eligibility for tax-exempt status is unrelated to marriage, so its status would not be affected by this legislation.

The 12 Republicans who voted for the bill include Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Burr (R-NC), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rob Portman (R-OH), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Todd Young (R-IN).

I don't either and I don't understand why Congress thinks their bills are superior to the Constitution. 1A rules this issue on religious freedom. And if the courts don't respect 1A, then we move down the list. I also don't understand why anyone thinks this will protect religious freedom with the amount of activism we are seeing. It is plainly obvious the LGBTQ movement seeks to destroy anyone who merely disagrees with them. This is dumb and needless legislation. Star |
