Umm… I didn't see it in the actual video.

Don't walk out. Document it instead, in case any rules were violated regarding the Catholic Church's tax-free status. The IRS can get their attention far more effectively than you can if there were any rule violations.

Unfortunately, religious groups are allowed to spend money on and advocate for or against political causes so long as they don't spend a significant amount of their total income on said causes. Compared to the total budget of the Catholic church, the amount they will spend on this is nothing, so it will be legal. Much better to walk out and not go back- ever.
