Read the story here. This will go to the US Supreme Court if the State Supreme court ends up having its head up its rear end.
Seems the diocese is consolidating property and the City is trying to assess "Transfer taxes." Mind you, no property has been sold, or changed hands. Have they tried this stunt with other churches? In a word, no. Who the hell do these people think they are? They really think they are going to get away with this?
Gee, maybe because the Church didn't want gay marriage? Just maybe?

Revolution, anyone?
Get the tar, feathers, pitchforks, and lit torches.
Unbelieveable how bold these crooks are. As the article pointed out some of these properties have been owned before there even WAS a city of SF.
They tried to do something like that in my diocese a year or so ago, except it was when they were consolidating parishes.
Strangely, it was right after the bishop ended a fight against the city council, voted to call Philadelphia an officially Pro-Choice City.
Joe in Philly, Your Cardinal would have killed them!
