| Message | Solidarität believes that there may be room for reform of the caps to ministers' salaries, but we fear that men who are supposed to be serving a community may instead profit off of that community. We will oppose this legislation, although it appears likely to go through, because it may allow for the rise of a church-based elite that undermines our democratic institutions. |
