Earlier this week, we contacted the Speaker of the House in the Utah
legislature, Rep. Brad R. Wilson, expressing our outrage over a bill
sponsored by his Democratic colleague, Rep. Angela Romero, that would
vitiate the seal of Confession. The pretext of her legislation is
knowledge of the sexual abuse of minors learned in the confessional.
We are very pleased with the response by Speaker Wilson: he is opposed to the Romero bill. Rep. Romero is now doubling down, saying she is going forward with her bill, accusing me of making a "soft threat.â€
Romero is obviously referring to the following concluding portion of my letter of January 10 to her. "You are treading on dangerous territory. When the government seeks to police the sacraments of the Catholic Church — or encroach on the tenets and practices of any world religion — it is gearing up for a court fight. The First Amendment secures religious liberty, and that entails separation of church and state.â€
