Message | His Grace bitterly opposes this. Religions have a place in Aldegarian life, and society will suffer in the long-run if they are taxed into obscurity. His Grace also feels that if the philanthropic activities of churches are taxed, the recipients of those activities - not just the churches themselves - will be hit.

Message | We have to agree. Even though religions are not exactly allied with us on most issues, many religious organisations do a lot for the poor and vulnerable. |
