The Christian Church will have to go underground again before too long.

Connecticut is a communist country. Along with California and Michigan.

Since when does the government have a say in how the Catholic Church (or any church) in how they conduct their business? As long as they aren't breaking any laws, government should stay out of it.

This bill is not worth the paper it is written on. The Church will just tell them to pack sand. End of story.

Just saw another thread they are putting the bill on hold for now.

Too hot in the kitchen right now for them to attempt it.

Yes. And the lay-run church will be called "The Patriotic Catholic Church of America".

This cr@p has been tried before by other communist countries.

Does the Catholic Church receive State/Federal funds?
Just asking.

Catholic Prayer Ping!

Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Catholic Prayer Ping List.

It's up to us, folks, pray that the Bishop and the Church persevere.

So much for the phony issue of “separation of church and state”

The bill might have been withdrawn, but it will be back and this is EXACTLY what the hypocritical libs want to do to ALL churches.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

"Isn't this a blatant violation of the First Amendment?"

Yes it is. The church should waste no time and launch legal proceedings against the RATS.

"The [Democrat]-controlled Judiciary Committee has introduced Raised Bill 1098, a bill aimed specifically at the Catholic Church, which would remove the authority of the bishop and pastor over individual parishes and put a board of laymen in their place."

This is EXACTLY what Hitler did to churches in Germany. Only Pope Pius refused any such concordat.

Any question now that the Democrats are the new NAZI's of the 21st century?

I’m looking forward to this bill passing. And no doubt it will spread across the country. Let’s hope they include ALL religions and not just this one.

By passing it they will no doubt piss a lot of people off, me included. But at some point the line will be crossed and all hell is going to break out.

Why doesn't this Nazi committee try this on Islamic Mosks instead?

Where's the ACLU and the 'separation of Church and State' argument?

If the Church isn't supposed to meddle in State business, then the State has no business meddling in Church business either.

We need as big a turnout as possible for the public hearing on Wednesday, especially from non-Catholics.

This Jew stands with her Christian brothers and sisters. They'll take over your church over my dead body.
