(CNSNews.com) – Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), late Friday, filed a formal complaint asking the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to investigate the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for allegedly engaging in prohibited political activity in violation of its nonprofit tax status.
The CREW complaint alleges that the nation’s Catholic bishops are “abusing their positions to advocate against the election of President Barack Obama,” and anticipated further actions during this weekend’s sermons.
The complaint mentions several bishops — including Nicholas Di Marzio in New York; David Ricken in Wisconsin; Edward J. Burns in Alaska and Paul Loverde in Virginia — who it said have “warned of the evils of the Obama administration, followed by an exhortation for Catholics to vote.”
CREW also alleges that some bishops “have cautioned that voting for Democrats would not be faithful to Christ and would endanger the soul.”
But the complaint zeroed in on Illinois Bishop Daniel Jenky, who, the liberal activist group said, “previously compared President Obama to Stalin and Hitler.”

“previously compared President Obama to Stalin and Hitler
couldn't be closer to th truth than that.
Hooray for these bishops!That group forgets that the Church has freedom of speech and religion from God. The Church has to proclaim the Gospel-love God and your neighbor as yourself or else it is not true to Christ its head. Telling Catholics, and that is the Church, that they can't participate in society or do business without paying for murder is against our Constitution. We will not comply!!!
The Church has outlasted many empires and dictators. Napoleon is reported to have had a conversation with a French bishop boasting that he, Napoleon, would destroy the Catholic Church. The bishop shook his head and said it would not be possible since the bishops had tried to do so for the previous 1800 years and had not succeeded!
Go jump in a lake, CREW!
Obummer thinks that if you're not with him you're a big criminal. Throw the SOB to the wolves for all he damage he has done to America….his Allah will not survive.
The Catholics should have come out long time ago along with the other religions to put obummer in his place.As far as crew goes the judge should tell them to go f–k themselves.These insignificant bastards think they should rule and the majority of people should bow before them.People should find out who these morons are and harass them and their families a tactic the liberal democrats use all the time approved by Oblameo.
