Anti-Church CT: Good News/Bad News

Good news: The Connecticut Anti-Church Attack Bill has been tabled, and the March 11 hearing is canceled (but the rally’s still on).
Bad news: Connecticut hasn’t given up subverting the Church. The CT.gov “Safe Harbor Project” includes this (pdf format) “Gay Bible” site, and this “Don’t Tell Your Parents!” info for kids.
But about the hearing: Peter Wolfgang was at the State House when Judiciary Chairmen Lawlor and McDonald, champions of same-sex “marriage,” tabled the weird bill that would have used the state to pressure parishes to reorganize.
He said it was a victory, certainly. But thousands of Catholics were expected to come. It would have been much better to have won a victory with all the forces in the field.
Now, says the Family Institute of Connecticut head, Catholics need to turn their attention to S.B. 899 — the bill we wrote about in our story, “Teaching Same-Sex ‘Marriage’: Conn. Lawmakers Prepare to Reeducate Kids.”
“Legislators who have been preening that they are for religious liberty for being against this obviously unconstitutional bill,” (i.e., Bill 1098), “shouldn’t be let off the hook,” he said. “Threats to religious liberty remain in Bill 899 that codifies the Kerrigan court ruling, but goes beyond same-sex ‘marriage’ and could lead to the teaching of homosexuality in schools.”
Here’s the Family Institute of Connecticut’s page for “Stop CT’s Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Bill!”
The reeducation of Connecticut children has already begun at the Connecticut government’s own website. Let religious believers and parents in Connecticut know that the state government is using their tax money to interpret the Bible in a “gay” way and undermine parental rights at these sites ...
The CT.gov Safe Harbor site:

The CT.gov “Gay Bible” site:

The CT.gov “What to tell and not tell your parents” site:

This precedent is dangerous for the nation. It’s time that religious believers and parents from across the United States tell Connecticut: The state is the state. It’s not the Church. It’s not the parent. Back off.
Here are Connecticut’s U.S. senators and U.S. representatives’ contact information.
Here are Connecticut’s statewide officials’ contact information (with legislators linked on the side).
