It amazes me how ignorant many people are when it comes to the Constitutional rights of Americans. The Bill of Rights was written to protect Americans from the government silencing and disarming its citizens while forcing them to believe and worship that which they do not believe.
In this story, the Connecticut legislature was considering a bill to regulate how the Catholic Church in Connecticut governs itself. The bill was defeated, at least for the moment, thanks to huge protests rallies, phone calls and emails to lawmakers, and the efforts of radio/TV talk show host Glen Beck.
The bill would have required the Catholic Church to become congregational ruled. The bill was backed by Democrats, opposed by Republicans.
Isn't that amazing! Democrats pushing a law that would have mandated church governance. The First Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution SPECIFICALLY states that Congress (and other levels of government per the 14th Ammendment) shall not make laws regarding the establishment of religion. Yet, that is exactly what the Connecticut legislature attempted here. AMAZING!
I also find it amazing how Democrats will support judges who rule against school prayer and public displays that honor God, citing separation of church and state, yet they have no problem letting the state take control of church through legislation like this.
Hypocrisy? Oh, yes, my friend. Welcome to the new world order.
