Just askin' like...

If you are employed by a church you pay tax. The bible defines "the church" as the collective body of people who are Christians. So which "the Church" were you referring to?

Blessed are the yogurt makers.

But what did the Romans ever do for us?

That quote in the thread title is referring to how people should follow earthly laws except where they conflict with godly laws (a bit like the 1st and 1nd laws of Robotics), so that people can't claim to be exempt due to 'following a higher law'. As long as the Cardinal doesn't say people shouldn't pay the taxes, he's as much right as anyone to criticise Cameron's policies.

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

It is far easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle if you liquidise it first.

The point of the gospel there was to say that money is not owned by the people and therefore who controls the money should just have it back.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's...

...and unto God the things that are God's"

So what is the beef?
