Muchos pastores creen que estas prohibiciones tienen un efecto congelante en su libre expresi\u00f3n debido a que no pueden mostrar su apoyo a aquellos candidatos que est\u00e1n alineados con sus propias agendas.<\/p>\n<p>El nuevo lenguaje propuesto probablemente evitar\u00eda que el IRS use sus fondos y empleados para investigar a las iglesias por su apoyo a candidatos desde el p\u00falpito o la donaci\u00f3n de dinero a sus campa\u00f1as. Sin embargo, esto no aplicar\u00eda para otras organizaciones sin fines de lucro, lo cual le brinda una preferencia a las iglesias por encima de otras organizaciones exentas de impuestos.<\/p>\n<p>Aunque el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, tiene en su mira a la Enmienda Johnson como parte de su ret\u00f3rica hacia los conservadores religiosos, la Enmienda es una Ley y para poder eliminarla se requerir\u00eda una acci\u00f3n por parte del Congreso.<\/p>\n<p>En lugar de eliminar la Enmienda Johnson, el proyecto de ley har\u00eda que el comisionado del IRS, quien debe rendir cuentas ante el Congreso, cierre la investigaci\u00f3n. Claramente, el lenguaje utilizado es un esfuerzo para desmembrar la Enmienda Johnson en lo que se refiere a las iglesias, dijo Charles Haynes, un experto en libertad religiosa en el Newseum. \u201cAl menos lo que se busca es paralizar cualquier intento del personal del IRS para aplicar la Enmienda Johnson con respecto a lo que se predique desde el p\u00falpito, punto de la enmienda a la cual las iglesias conservadoras se han opuesto m\u00e1s\u201d, expres\u00f3 Haynes. \u201cLo peor es que el proyecto de ley busca evitar que los delegados del IRS cumplan con su trabajo y no impidan que las donaciones de caridad terminen fluyendo hacia las campa\u00f1as pol\u00edticas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Muchos grupos religiosos enviaron una carta a los principales congresistas para expresarles su oposici\u00f3n a la medida. Cuarenta organizaciones expresan en la carta que \u201cel debilitamiento de la actual ley permitir\u00eda que los pol\u00edticos y otros interesados en el poder pol\u00edtico ejerzan su presi\u00f3n en las iglesias para que les brinden su apoyo, causando la divisi\u00f3n de congregaciones y permiti\u00e9ndoles acceder al flujo de dinero exento de impuestos\u201d. Entre los grupos mencionados en la carta est\u00e1n la Iglesia Episcopal, el Comit\u00e9 Jud\u00edo-Americano, la Iglesia Luterana de Am\u00e9rica y el Comit\u00e9 Unido de Bautistas para la Libertad Religiosa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi esta medida llega a ser promulgada, los bur\u00f3cratas encontrar\u00e1n maneras para presionar sutilmente a las casas de adoraci\u00f3n (por ejemplo, demorando el otorgamiento de permisos de zona) hasta que se les brinde el apoyo deseado\u201d, dijo Melissa Rogers, miembro senior de la Instituci\u00f3n Brookings. \u201cEso es ilegal pero ser\u00eda imposible de detener si se aprueban medidas como \u00e9stas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>La Primera Enmienda de la Constituci\u00f3n de los Estados Unidos impide que el gobierno favorezca a ciertas corrientes religiosas en lo que se refiere a subsidios y beneficios. No obstante, es posible que con el proyecto de ley se permita a los administradores elegir a cu\u00e1les iglesias negarles la exenci\u00f3n de impuestos y a cu\u00e1les no, basados en si esa iglesia apoya las pol\u00edticas de una administraci\u00f3n dem\u00f3crata o republicana.<\/p>\n<p>La modificaci\u00f3n de la Enmienda Johnson es realmente una gran amenaza para la libertad religiosa. Si las iglesias reciben m\u00e1s poder, lo usar\u00e1n para imponer leyes religiosas dentro de la cultura estadounidense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos dignatarios de la iglesia y del estado se unir\u00e1n para hacer que todos honren el domingo, y para ello apelar\u00e1n al cohecho, a la persuasi\u00f3n o a la fuerza. La falta de autoridad divina se suplir\u00e1 con ordenanzas abrumadoras. La corrupci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica est\u00e1 destruyendo el amor a la justicia y el respeto a la verdad; y hasta en los Estados Unidos de la libre Am\u00e9rica, se ver\u00e1 a los representantes del pueblo y a los legisladores tratar de asegurarse el favor p\u00fablico dobleg\u00e1ndose a las exigencias populares por una ley que imponga la observancia del domingo. La libertad de conciencia que tantos sacrificios ha costado no ser\u00e1 ya respetada\u201d. El Conflicto de los Siglos, p\u00e1g. 650.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Source References<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.cbn.com\/mundocristiano\/estados-unidos\/2017\/june\/lideres-cristianos-piden-que-se-revoque-la-enmienda-johnson-tras-sufrir-persecucion\" target=\"_blank\">L\u00edderes de fe piden revocar Enmienda Johnson para evitar persecuci\u00f3n<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/acts-of-faith\/wp\/2017\/06\/30\/trump-promised-to-destroy-the-johnson-amendment-congress-is-targeting-it-now\/?utm_term=.4b9c799583e4\" target=\"_blank\">Trump promised to destroy the Johnson Amendment.
