37. I'm Catholic and I disagree with this decision...
...but I don't agree that it is political. To the Catholic church, abortion and embryonic stem cell research are moral issues, not political ones. They may, as may any other group, advocate for political solutions to what they see as moral problems, but so long as they don't do it in a strictly partisan manner ("Don't vote for Democrats, they're pro-abortion", "Vote for Republicans, they're pro-life"), they are free to advocate for their beliefs without losing their tax exempt status.
