Connecticut Bureaucracy Moves to Annex Catholic Church

So much for the separation of Church and State. From American Papist:
This past Thursday, March 5, the Judiciary Committee of the Connecticut State Legislature, which is chaired by Sen. Andrew McDonald of Stamford and Rep. Michael Lawlor of East Haven, introduced a bill that directly attacks the Roman Catholic Church and our Faith.
This bill violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. It forces a radical reorganization of the legal, financial, and administrative structure of our parishes. This is contrary to the Apostolic nature of the Catholic Church because it disconnects parishes from their Pastors and their Bishop. Parishes would be run by boards from which Pastors and the Bishop would be effectively excluded.
This bill, moreover, is a thinly-veiled attempt to silence the Catholic Church on the important issues of the day, such as same-sex marriage.
Leftists hate Christianity because it is a bastion against the moral corruption that facilitates totalitarianism. Apparently efforts of moonbats like Rowan Williams to subvert it from within are not proceeding quickly enough, so ham-fisted government coercion must be applied.
On a tip from Gregory of Yardale.
