By Cathie Adams, president of Texas Eagle > Forum > <snip> One of the hidden agendas in the school voucher movement is a desire by certain politicians to channel tax dollars to parochial schools, in direct violation of the separation of church and state. For many years, the Vatican has sought to break down the barriers between church and state in this country and get the same kind of state funding for its schools and salaries for its clergy that exist in other countries such as Germany and Poland. The Curia cannot get it through their birettas that the United States Constitution's guarantee of religious freedom is a two-edged sword--at the same time it protects the right of everyone to worship as they feel led, it warns us that state support of religious institutions leads inevitably to state *control* of those institutions, rather than the other way around. (This is the lesson of the Grove City case.) If churches are to remain free of government intervention, they must also remain free of government funding. QED, over and over and over again...
