The Church is vigorously lobbying against proposals to make it easier to sue child molesters.

This is an organization that really has its priorities straight. :roll:

If the Church had to pay for the wrongs it committed (everything from persecuting heretics to buggering altar boys) it would be put out of business in under a month. The Roman Catholic Church is one the the truly corrupt and evil organizations. It was founded by humans with the help of the Devil. The Devil never sleeps.

As we have previously discussed, nearly ad nauseam, it is illegal for a tax-exempt organization to engage in excessive lobbying.

Quote:
Victims and their advocates in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York are pushing legislators to lengthen the limits or abolish them altogether, and to open temporary “windows” during which victims can file lawsuits no matter how long after the alleged abuse occurred.

The Catholic Church has successfully beaten back such proposals in many states, arguing that it is difficult to get reliable evidence when decades have passed and that the changes seem more aimed at bankrupting the church than easing the pain of victims.

Already reeling from about $2.5 billion spent on legal fees, settlements and prevention programs relating to child sexual abuse, the church has fought especially hard against the window laws, which it sees as an open-ended and unfair exposure for accusations from the distant past. In at least two states, Colorado and New York, the church even hired high-priced lobbying and public relations firms to supplement its own efforts. Colorado parishes handed out postcards for churchgoers to send to their representatives, while in Ohio, bishops themselves pressed legislators to water down a bill.


The Catholic Church is going too far, and should have its tax-exempt status revoked, at the very least.
