The Connecticut State Legislature is considering a bill that will ban Catholic clergy from making financial decisions for their parishes. The well meaning idea is a response to a case in Connecticut where a Priest stole money from the church for years. THe Bill however would open up a floodgate of government interference in churches. It could very well lead to things like the government saying what criteria can and can't be considered in determining church membership or hiring/firing PAstors. Let's all hope this bill fails to come up for a vote.

And now we see the other side of separation of church and state. If you don't want the church involved in the state, you can't get involved in the church.
Let's hope this fails, and that it is laughed out of the legislature.
I e-mailed my state rep and senator today telling them to not let this come to a vote.
It was extremely interesting for me to read the blog. Thank you for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read more soon.
