The Most Reverend Henry J. Mansell, Archbishop of Hartford, has written an open letter to all parishoners in the Archdiocese of Hartford, asking for your support in reversing the new federal health care insurance edict, which will require that all employers (with few exceptions) pay for certain medical procedures and medications. As written, it violates our First Amendment right to freedom of religion, and is therefore unconstitutional.
