Weird Time for Christians

God couldn't find someone with less than three adulterous marriages, fewer payoffs to porn stars, a more reasonable number of pending lawsuits, and at least a trace of Christ-like behavior?

Weird how this happens so often - the people who are most vocally anti-gay harbor closeted homosexual urges.


 
I cannot imagine what it must be like to be a good Catholic, find out your child was molested by a priest, and then have the church fight against you in your quest for justice.

Imagine knowing your tithe funded a coverup against your own child. Ugh.


 


Catholic Church spent $10.6 million to lobby against legislation that would benefit victims of child sex abuse




A new report released Tuesday reveals that, over the past eight years, the Catholic Church has spent $10.6 million in the northeastern United States to fight legislation that would help victims of clergy sexual abuse seek justice.

"At the most basic level, we were inspired by frustration," says attorney Gerald Williams, a partner at Williams Cedar, one of four law firms that jointly commissioned the report. "We represent hundreds of people, who have truly been victimized by clergymen in the Catholic Church. We've heard a lot about the church's desire to be accountable and turn over a new leaf. But when we turn to the form where we can most help people and where we can get the most justice — the courts of justice — the church has been there blocking their efforts."

 
In New York, for example, the Catholic Church spent $2,912,772 lobbying against the Child Victims Act, which Governor Andrew Cuomo ultimately signed into law on February 14, 2019. The act gives survivors more time to seek justice against their abusers, increasing the age at which victims are able to sue from 23 to 55.

Similarly, in Pennsylvania — where in 2018 a grand jury report detailed evidence of more than 300 priests credibly accused of sexually abusing more than 1,000 children — the Catholic Church spent $5,322,979 lobbying to keep current restrictions in place on the statute of limitations in which victims can seek criminal or civil charges against their abusers.

And before the christians get upset over that comment, let me clarify, its about organized religion. Not if god does or does not exist.
