Scholars and church leaders are divided on the wisdom of an Internal Revenue Service ruling to allow pastors to back specific candidates from the pulpit, reversing decades of policy. Some worry that the change will “corrupt” the mission of churches and turn them into another partisan battleground or even a tax-exempt source of campaign funds. Others welcome the ruling, saying the IRS should not police the communications between pastors and their congregations. (Associated Press)
