oh good grief...

I may have my problems with the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, especially over money (throughout its history), but the State of Connecticut absolutely needs to get their head out of their ass.  If you, as a government, don't like the financial handling of a church, you have one recourse: revoke the tax-exempt status.  Stepping in and applying a blunt restructuring on them is just asking for trouble, both because of the slippery slope issue (control one church, control them all), and more importantly: it requires tax dollars being spent on managing a church, in GROSS violation of the Establishment clause.
