Ct. Lawmaker Defends the Liberty of the Church

This is from my friend and Fairfield Prep classmate, Jason Perillo, who is a Ct. representative. Write him and let him know how greatly you appreciate his work.

“Why the legislative majority of the State of Connecticut think it’s ok to dictate how the Catholic Church must govern itself is beyond comprehension. The legislature has no right to interfere in the structure of the Church and though this bill is directed only at the Catholic Church today, it could be forced on other denominations in the future. This is, at best, unconstitutional. At worst, it’s an underhanded attempt to silence the Catholic Church. The state has no business controlling religion.”

Jason Perillo (R-113)

State Representative

113th District

Representing the residents of the City of Shelton

Get the word out, folks!
