Cherry picking the bible is so common, I've stopped caring really. It's not like people nowadays can stick to customs and laws from a couple thousand years ago, so they take whatever they please to expose.
But that's hardly a surprise, the Pope's views on homosexuality, condoms and whatnot are known too well.
This article isn't just about that though, it's about still seeking exemption from laws (and I mean mainly their tries on the issue of adoption centres). And I think being exempted from tax is already too good for them.
(Though after the sex scandals in Ireland, I don't know how hot it is to be a catholic orphanage, adoption centre etc).
