Voting unanimously, a federal appeals court in Chicago dismissed a lawsuit from the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) aimed at bullying pastors and priests. At issue was a FFRF lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over a provision that allows for an exemption for a parsonage.

Working with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, submitted an amicus brief to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on the issue.

Since the founding of America, society has protected ministers and churches from the government-imposed tax burdens because of their charitable work and benefit to society.
