Our Freedom of Religion is being attacked from many different angles and fronts and even through slickly sliding through the back door.
Secular attacks on religion have been heating up quite a bit lately. The latest attempt at violating our freedom of religion in Connecticut is not over yet. Don't let your guard down so quickly.
This was the largest singly attack on the Catholic church I have ever seen in our country where our own constitution's founding principles are to protect our right to freedom of religion.
I am not a Catholic but I will stand by any religion whether it is Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim that is attacked like what the legislature just tried to pull over in Connecticut.
The open forum debate was just halted that was to take place in Hartford Connecticut tomorrow but don't let that stop you from showing up.
Thousands of Catholics, Christians and many other religious people will be there to voice their rights to freedom of religion anyways. This law would have take all the rights to govern the parish away from the priest and the Bishop and put it in the hands of a government board.
Hartford-"State legislators have canceled Wednesday's public hearing on a controversial bill that would have mandated changes in the corporate structure of parishes and institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, the co-chairmen of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Michael Lawlor, D-East Haven, and Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, said that serious questions about the constitutionality of the entire section of the state's corporate statutes applying to religious groups.."
These are the very same men who drafted this bill! HELLO! Time to vote them out of office! Tea Party time! As soon as this bill was introduced the Capital of Connecticut was flooded with emails and calls. We can not let our guard down. They will be back. Next year, they will come back and just remove the words, "Roman Catholic Church" and add on more churches. I think they said it will be 5 churches next time.
Remember always: When the people have freedom of religion, the government fears the people When the government takes away freedom of religion- the people fear the government.
This bill may have targeted the Catholic church but that in no way leaves other religions in the clear. The Catholic church is being attacked and sought out because of their strong stance against abortion, destroying embryos and same sex marriage. Progressives and seculars do not want any religion to govern their own flocks. They want to have total control and their goal is to destroy religion except for Humanism out of our country.
This is why all of us who believe in God or even those who don't but believe that others have the right to believe in God and worship God in their churches and other places of worship must stand strong and speak out whenever you see the freedom of religion being attacked no matter what that religion is. This is about our constitution.
