Ya know... that is interesting considering how "Church Properties" are a real estate specialty. There are a lot of government-related considerations to meet to ensure that church and state don't meet. I saw a church lose its lease because a state government took over the lease of an office complex.

Since Churches don't pay taxes I don't see why they are even allowed any influence in government. Really, there should be an automatic mic cut the minute a minister starts spouting off about how the government should be run. They are unwilling to pay for it but they'll take the protection.
