I find this exponentional growth to be sickening and reason to (a) reject Cizik's claim that above board is "o.k." (b) reason to press forward for dropping tax-free status from religious organizations - period (c) vote out every damn Senator who participated in the 108th Congress with an 'earmark' of such to his/her name.
The public coffers are NOT for faith-based anythings!
