Wonkdoctor, your solution is nice, but I have a much simpler one. Catholics like to support religious charities, and that seems reasonable.
Costs for this house "came from the sale of other property," which is a standard procedure in the Church.* So it should be easy to fund Catholic Charities, schools, and youth ministries by selling a bit more Other Property. A 7,500-square-foot mansion with two swimming pools in Hunterdon Co. should fetch at least $10 to $15 million or so. That'll buy a lot of shelter meals.
Just wait till the Pope finds out. Someone is gonna get such a spanking.
I second Callyson, whenever she gets here..

So a tax exemption would be handy, is what you&#039;re saying.
On that sale of church property, are they getting paid in Real Estate Dollars, not legal tender for food and child care?
They could spend it on social programs -- if they wanted to. Keep the empty envelopes coming, people!
