For those of us who actually live in the Archdiocese of Hartford, the announcement of Toledo Bishop Leonard P.

  Last weekend Connecticut welcomed a group which hosted its first secular conference. Heralded by bill boards across Connecticut proclaiming themselves “good”, the coalition seeks to build networking opportunities and increase their political involvement.

They say Connecticut is not a pro-life state and, at least in terms of our laws and politicians, they are right. But anyone following the pro-life calendar in Connecticut for the month of October would be hard-pressed to deny the presence of a vigorous grassroots pro-life movement here. Indeed, there are so many events that […]

No Republican has been elected Secretary of State in Connecticut in over twenty years (and the one before that was thirty-six years earlier).
