Catholic Patriots for T&T (Part 2)

By Nadine Bushell, Corporate Secretary Catholic Commission for Social Justice

Romans 13 verse 6:8 says “you must pay taxes, since all government officials are God’s officers.They serve by collecting taxes. Pay every government official what he has a right to ask – whether it be direct tax or indirect, fear or honour.” The only thing you should owe to anyone is love for one another, for to love the other person is to fulfil the law.
