Question

Do you think the church should own the bank of England?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "the Church"?

The Church of Rome? The Church of England? The Baptist Union? The Salvation Army?

The only Church that I know of that owns a bank is the Church of Rome - and that was one of the most corrupt organisations in Italy in the last century.

Answer 2

No of course not. why should they. I expect the church has more money then the bank of England

Answer 3

No...The church in my opinion should stay out of everything...And the church should be taxed...

Answer 4

No. Why should it?  This is not a theocracy - we have separation of church and state.  There is no way they should control the finances of this country.  Silly question.

Answer 5

Hi Fiona, heck no, the Church owns enough property and other stuff as it is. It should use some of it's wealth to actually pay for repairs etc, instead of pleading poverty and begging the parishioners for money.

Answer 6

No, it is hard enough to keep religion out of politics with out arming them in this manner.

Answer 7

I think that here we are getting into the realms of a " money changers tables in the temple " scenario, one that I think should be avoided at all cost.

My shorter answer is a definate NO.
