CT: Catholic Takeover?

Get Religion reports that Connecticut legislators have introduced a bill that would completely reorganize the archdiocese of Connecticut. Raised Bill 1098 would eliminate diocesan control over Church finances, shifting it to boards of directors, organized at the parish level. The bishop would be relegated to a non-voting ex-officio position on the board of each parish. Some speculate that the bill is retaliation for the Church's opposition to gay marriage; others point to financial shenanigans among some of Connecticut's parishes. There is one thing that the bill almost certainly is: unconstitutional. [Hartford Courant; Get Religion]
