Enemies of the Catholic Church mount major attack in Connecticut

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:

Isn't this a blatant violation of the First Amendment?), but we assure you that this is not a hoax.
