Cash-strapped Italy considers taxing Catholic Church - International - Catholic Online. Church-owned businesses create unfair advantage over their competitors, critics say Quickly running out of funds, the Italian government is desperate for extra revenue.
High on its list are commercial properties owned by the Roman Catholic Church. Opponents have long said that the current rules in Italy give church-owned businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, an unfair advantage over their competitors. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The government of Prime Minister Mario Monti announced on February 15 that it wants to revise rules on the tax-exempt status of church-owned commercial property. While the exemption also applies to other not-for-profit entities, such as trade unions, political parties and religious groups, the Catholic Church remains its largest beneficiary. The proposal is an unpopular one, the sign of desperate times. Began in 1992, the exemption has long sparked contentious debates.

For many years there was a website called Terecon.com where I displayed information about my professional work as a chemical engineer and business development for the fine chemicals industry. Terecon is now closed and there is no activity planned to offer chemicals or chemical engineering services on a regular basis. If a need came up where I could be of service with my background and experience for those things I would be delighted to discuss the opportunity. I am capable of doing that work and interested in doing it, but I am not actively pursuing it. This website will be devoted to the new directions I am undertaking in studying a variety of subjects via readings on the internet or library texts and writing my assessments as "white papers" or essays.
Christianity. In the following article an account is given of Christianity as a religion, describing its origin, its relation to other religions, its essential nature and chief characteristics, but not dealing with its doctrines in detail nor its history as a visible organization.
These and other aspects of this great subject will receive treatment under separate titles. Moreover, the Christianity of which we speak is that which we find realized in the Catholic Church alone; hence, we are not concerned here with those forms which are embodied in the various non-Catholic Christian sects, whether schismatical or heretical. For clearness' sake we shall arrange the subject under the following chief heads: Origin of Christianity and its relation with other religions According to the accepted chronology, these began their mission on the day of Pentecost, A.D. 29, which day is regarded, accordingly, as the birthday of the Christian Church.
