Outrage in Connecticut — Committee Hearing on Bill to Dictate Catholic Church Operations [Jack Fowler]

I received this extremely troubling e-mail over the weekend from my paisan Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of Connecticut:

Big Turnout Needed Wednesday, March 11th to Stop Major New Attack on Religious Liberty!

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. Yes, we’re asking the same questions you are (Where does the legislature have the authority to do this? Isn’t this a blatant violation of the First Amendment?), but we assure you that this is not a hoax.

We need as big a turnout as possible for the public hearing on Wednesday, especially from non-Catholics. As Ben Franklin told the Founders while they were signing the Declaration of Independence, “either we hang together or we will all hang separately.” Legislators need to understand that this bill is an attack on everyone’s religious liberty.

If the legislature can replace a bishop with a board of laymen in the Catholic Church, they can just as easily replace the governing lay structure of Congregationalist or Baptist churches with someone set up as a bishop. In fact, it was resistance to such government interference in the internal life of the church that gave birth to several of our most historic denominations. Thanks to this awful bill, our generation must now rise up to defend those hard-fought victories for religious liberty that were won for us by our ancestors.

The Judiciary Committee will hold a public hearing on R.B. 1098 on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 12:00 P. M. in Room 2C of the LOB. Please submit 45 copies of written testimony to Committee staff at least two hours prior to the start of the hearing in Room 2500 of the LOB. Testimony submitted after the designated time may not be distributed until after the hearing. Sign-up for the hearing will begin at 10: 00 A. M. in Room 2500 of the LOB. Sign-up will conclude 30 minutes before the start of the hearing. Speaker order will be decided by a lottery system. Anyone wishing to testify after the drawing is closed will be placed at the end of the list. The first hour of the hearing is reserved for public officials. Speakers will be limited to 3 minutes of testimony.

According to the First Amendment and the Establishment Clause, the government has no business dictating to religious organizations how they should structure themselves. In Connecticut, though, some lawmakers seem to have skipped over the Constitution. A new bill will require Catholic parishes and dioceses — and only Catholics — to organize their parish leadership in a way that pleases the Connecticut legislature (via The Corner):

a conversation with my good buddy .

(08:12:54) hedi: sigh
(08:14:02) hedi: in the car saturday nite with veronica, she was bashing bush and blah blah blah, and i was like “I don’t think he was a good president, but I find it kind of funny that everyone who says that we need to be united and acting like one have been criticizing Bush for the past 8 years”
(08:14:15) hedi: she was like “but he was an idiot and everyone hates him”
(08:14:25) hedi: some people just will never get it lol
(08:14:49) paint: nope
(08:15:08) paint: i’m doing a lot of thinking i had people go like well obama is presnow yaddayada .
(08:15:16) paint: and you as bad as the libs foe bashing..
(08:15:18) paint: but i’m like..
(08:15:27) paint: i’m pointing out poor policy and agenda issues .
(08:15:47) paint: the libs at this time in Bush terms were calling for recounts STILL , and claiming a stolen election
(08:16:07) hedi: haha
(08:16:24) paint: i’m not claiming a stolen election,.. even though i still want to see a birth cert and his documents that show his citesenship
(08:16:31) paint: but i’m not making that my primary argument .
(08:17:00) paint: my primary argument is weather his directives are consitutional or the right thing for the country .
(08:17:07) paint: i’ll hold his feet to the fire over that .

which is why i’m honestly making a calander on google cal, to keep track of his executive orders . Bush even occasionally made a good decision. in photography we see it as a numbers game .. but the issues is , sometime it takes 300 crappy pictures to get one good one.. and kind of crappy ones being made right now are steering us towards a cliff .. and i’m ready to get off this speeding bus to socialism .

another friend said to day . and i like the wayu the put it so i’ll share :

people say :

“call your represintatives. “ “Write your congressmen.”
I tried that with all my might during the first “bailout scam” and was astonished to hear that so many other people were doing the very same thing. The amount of calls were reportedly 9 to 1 opposing the bailout across the nation. Those “in charge” responded with “they just don’t understand.” “ We are going to do this anyway.” “It’s for their own good.” I never felt like I was pissing in the wind as much as I did when I wrote and contacted my “representatives.”

i have to agree i did too.

and those of us who are represented by a member of the DNC, all got back, a caned email response , and we know because we compared the letters online . there was no listening or representation even though the people called with 9-1 against the bailout.. ..
