and use it instead for periodicals.

The "non-profit" churches could still put out their message in a periodical format themselves, but on a more level cost basis.

It kills me to see "churches" getting the cheapest rate for sending out scams like "annointing oil" or "prayer blankets". They are selling bogus products and they are getting rich from it. Why do we subsidize that?
