I've thought about that before and concluded that it is for much the same reason that a lawyer seldom rats out another lawyer; a cop doesn't often drop a dime on another cop, etc.
As for the GMO abomination, it might have something to do with most churches' 501C3 tax status. They aren't supposed to get too political and some have been warned about it when they have. Not all churches are registered with the IRS (they don't have to be) but most were intimidated into believing that they had to if they wanted keep their tax exempt status which is not true. So they pretty much shut up about such things when they should be raising hell about it.
Quoting: Ralph--a house dog Excellent points, Ralph-a.h.d.!
Your first point was the very first self-rebuttal I considered as well. But, in reality, there is zero similarity between a true follower of Christ who is a protestant, and a pedophile-protecting Roman Catholic pope.
So, there should be no code of "brotherhood" among the protestant Christian churches and the R.C. church....rather the opposite should be true!
A true follower and believer in Christ and His teachings should expose and humiliate and destroy a false church which commits the most evil and vile of sins, while hiding behind the Cross.
As for your second point: I think this is the most plausible answer to my question in the original post. But, actions like that should not be considered political. Unless if the individuals involved with the church were running for individual office, there should be freedom of speech protections.
Cowards if that is the case. Favoring "tax exempt status" more highly than justice and truth and protection of the most innocent and helpless, and integrity!
