Welcome To The Archive for "Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption"! Yay!
Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption was a legally recognized church in the United States, established by comedian and satirist John Oliver. Its purpose was to expose and ridicule televangelists like Robert Tilton and Creflo Dollar who preach the “prosperity gospel” as a way to defraud victims of their money, and to draw attention to the tax-exempt status given churches and charities with little government oversight. Oliver announced formation of his church on August 16, 2015, in a twenty-minute segment on his show Last Week Tonight.
