Asking for a special exemption from a certain part of a law that will be your special privilege based on your special status
is by definition a 'special favor'.
The church is not asking for a special exception to a law, they are telling the US government that they will not obey a regulation that interferes with their right to exercise their religion.
See the difference?
Of course you don't.
There is no right to break the law in any religious freedom protected in the Constitution.
If that were the case, Warren Jeffs would probably be free.
Never said there was. I did, however, point out that the Supreme Court has said that not all laws apply to religious institutions, even if they are schools. I even provided a link, which you did not read because you assumed that the title proved I was actually talking about a church.
