News & Features | Where’s the outrage?: "RENDERING UNTO CAESAR
The legislation filed by State Senator Marian Walsh of West Roxbury and supported by 32 colleagues (many of whom are cultural conservatives, especially on the hot-button issue of choice), which would require churches to file annual financial statements and list real-estate holdings with the Attorney General’s Division of Public Charities, is a welcome development.
It would introduce a much-needed measure of transparency to believers who financially support their churches. At the same time, it would not infringe in any way upon the ecclesiastical prerogatives of the churches themselves."
