Constitution State ignores the Constitution

The Constitution State seems to be going out of its way to rewrite the constitution in an effort to attack the Catholic Church.
Following the failed attempt by legislators in March to dictate management of church parishes and institutions, the state is trying to tell the church it needs to register as a lobbyist to hold rallies and use its Web site to oppose legislation. State officials are claiming that the diocese acted as a lobbyist when it made statements on its Web site urging members to contact their state lawmakers to oppose the finances bill and another bill on same-sex marriage.
The Diocese of Bridgeport headed by Bishop William Lori, is asking a U.S. District judge to stop the Office of State Ethics from what it calls an unconstitutional application of Connecticut lobbying laws. Stories here and here.
It appears to me that what has been an underground war against the Catholic Church in America seems to be moving more out into the open. Yeah, I may be paranoid... but that doesn't mean they are not out to get me.
