The clergy housing allowance

The Holy Men are getting worried.

They’re coming after your housing allowance…again

“They” would be the Freedom From Religion Foundation which gained a victory in a federal court district ruling in 2013 which disallowed the cash housing allowance. Unfortunately for them, the ruling was overturned at the appeals level. The appeals court found a problem with a technical legal issue, standing, and made no determination about the constitutionality of the cash version of the minister’s housing allowance.

This problem with standing has been resolved and we should expect, I am told, to see another suit filed by the FFRF challenging the housing allowance.

Good for the FFRF; I hope they prevail.
