Why would the tax exemptions of some religious institutions be in question if they opposed same-sex marriage?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) June 27th, 2015

Maybe I don’t understand exactly how a religious institution gains tax exempt status and how they maintain it?

The Catholic Church discriminates against women, prohibiting them becoming a Priest and leading a congregation, yet they’re tax exempt. If a practice is a tenant of an established faith, how can it affect tax exempt status? Muslims x 10.

This is not a loaded question, but a genuine inquiry.
And yes, I tried to get a coherent answer online.
