Archbishop of Denver warns that Conn. bill threatens Catholics everywhere

I knew it wouldn't be long before an excellent Bishop like Chaput spoke out about this atrocity.  We need to fight this bill NOW or it will spread to other anti-Catholic legislators.

Although the legislation in question was introduced in Connecticut, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver has issued a statement on a bill that would effectively sever the relationship between a bishop and his pastors and parishes. Archbishop Chaput says in his statement, "What Happens in Connecticut Matters Here," that the bill is "bad public policy in every sense."

The Senate Bill 1098 was introduced last Thursday by the chairs of the Judiciary Committee of the Connecticut State Legislature: Senator Andrew McDonald of Stamford and Representative Michael Lawlor of East Haven.

Sen. McDonald and Rep. Lawlor are both homosexual activists, who have opposed the local Church’s efforts to defend marriage between a man and a woman.  That explains a lot... like why they are specfically targeting the Catholic Church

Hey guys...What happened to the 1st amendment?  It is  still part of our constitution!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
