There should be a strong wall between church and state, and if you don't want to play by the government's rules don't expect their funding. If they're so strong in their beliefs they should put their money where their mouth is.

And if they really care about children instead of fighting their placement in happy homes they should deal with pedophile priests.
not only do I agree I also fear for any public money going to further religious causes. Some religions teach the women is subservient to men, arranged marriages, polygamy and so on. Believe in whatever god you want to. Don't fund these beliefs with taxpayer dollars by giving vouchers to pay for schooling. Because where does I stop. Will radical Muslim schools be funded? Schools that support gay conversion? Roman Catholic schools that for years not only shielded priests but routinely sent them to a new set of victims when they were found out?

We are on on a slippery slope
