It’s that time of year when the churches in South St. Louis County delve into politics and prove once again that most of the peace and love that they preach is complete nonsense. Let’s all remember for a moment that churches get to enjoy their 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation status, but all corporations, regardless of monetary profit or not, are in the business to profit.

So for all of you South County Catholics out there, think about what your preferred nonprofit organization is trying to sell to you using their words and actions. You may find yourself questioning your church’s motives or perhaps even your own beliefs.

The good news is everything will be okay. Some of us become enlightened as teenagers, but it’s never too late to question the institutions you have been taught your whole lives to believe without question.
