From an article in yesterday's New York Times about a gathering on the last day of the Republican convention:

In the morning, Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican Party; Matt Schlapp, a top White House political aide; Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas; and a number of Republican elected officials addressed a gathering of about 300 Catholics at the Westin Hotel near the convention. They said the party had recruited more than 50,000 Catholic "team leaders" nationwide as part of an effort to build a special Catholic outreach program alongside the state and local Republican Parties....

In an invocation, the Rev. Frank Pavone, the founder of Priests for Life, who is seeking to organize voter registration efforts in Catholic churches around the country for the first time, said, "Isn't it great to be with Catholics who aren't afraid to be political?"


Can someone please explain to me why donations to Priests for Life are tax-deductible?
