The link for the bill in question is through the Diocese of Bridgeport's website.  It basically deprives bishops and pastors control of parishes in Connecticut.

Connecticut about to attack Catholic Church

I'm surprised California didn't come up with something like this.

A letter will be read at all Masses in the Bridgeport diocese tomorrow regarding this.  The utter chutzpah of these dopes in the state legislature!

I guess the state legislature never heard of freedom of religion.    I can't see this holding up in court but it will cost $$$ to fight it if it's enacted.

the best course of action for the Church, were this to be enacted, would be to impose an interdict upon the state of Conneticut.  sadly, that won't be done, but it's precisely this type of thing that the power of an interdict exists for.

When I wish to solve those problems, which perplex the wisest men,
And deduce abstruse conclusions, that transcend all human ken;
When I wish to know the secrets which the pyramids infold,
Or to understand the statecraft of Rameses Great of Old,
I just sit here quiet and easy, and all things seem clear as day,
When I see the smoke a-curling from my pipe of Irish clay.

This being the HQ of the Knights of Columbus, I'd think there'd be a chunk of change to be spent to 'shoot this down'. The Knights put a lot of money towards defeating Prop 8-- I'd think that if they wanted to, these Nutmegger legislators mayn't have 'seen nothing yet'...

"It is questionable whether the proper functions of Catholics is to hunt down, "expose" and condemn Catholics they suspect of undue rigidity, disobedience or "material schism"; especially while giving support to a Vatican ecumenical campaign which addresses heretics and actual Schismatics as "separated brethren", Jews as "people of the covenant" and Muslims as "people of God". This is part of the overall contradiction (or inconsistency) that permeates the "conservative" mentality. Cloaked in a pledged loyalty to all things "whatsoever" emanating from the Holy See, many "conservatives" will go beyond the measures taken by the Church leaders, or even disagree with their actual positions. The Hawaii "excommunications" were an obvious example but others can be seen. "Conservatives" denounce as "Schismatic" all those who set foot in SSPX chapels while the Vatican embraces the Schismatics in China. "Conservatives" deny any significant change at the Second Vatican Council while the Pope celebrates the enormity and impact of the changes. "Conservatives" seek the conversion of the Eastern "Orthodox" while the Vatican promises not to "proselytize" them. "Conservatives" deride American bishops while the Pope appoints and promotes the same ones." -Peter Miller


"Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil." -H. Gibson

What happened to the oft-trumpeted 'separation of Church and State'?

They only support that if it's the Church trying to influence the state.

I spoke with two of the "good" reps in the state legislature today (one attends the TLM) and basically the homos that proposed this are wanting to  use it as a bargaining chip against attacks on their gay marriage bill that passed last year.

Unfortunately, the CT bishops have long tolerated homosexual priests in their ranks. The Rev. Michael Jude Fay immediately comes to mind. Maybe God is telling them in His own way that they'd better clean out their ranks soon..or else.

This bill won't go anywhere, but it is a case of incrementalism. 50 years ago, no one thought homosexual "marriage" would ever be legalized. 70 years ago, no one thought abortion would be legalized. 100 years ago, no one thought no fault divorce would be legalized. And so forth.
