Catholic Church Opposes FULLY Protecting the Children

Sure they talk a good game,   yeah if you aren't paying attention to the actual words coming out of their mouths.  On the one hand, the words  they want you to pay attention to, they talk about protecting the most vulnerable among us at all costs. nothing is more important. And surely they are right.
But most recently the bishop for a New York diocese, came out against a proposed N.Y.C. law.  This law would extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting all priestly child molesters.  He argues that it unfairly targets the church and such a law would be impossible to defend against. Again he's right about it being unfair, and he's right about being unable to defend against many cases that happened say 50 years ago.  so far I'm with him all the way.

But here is the rub. They, the Catholic church are outspoken supporters of protecting the most vulnerable.  At every turn, they will tell you this is their single most important mission.  So then instead of arguing that you are being unfairly targeted and trying to prevent the law that way,  why not seek to have the law expanded to cover ALL suspected child molesters.  THAT is what you would do If you really had the victim in mind. But instead they are trying to portray THEMSELVES as the victims, so typical of society today, and they are doing so quite successfully among the more fervent of their "flock". And further they speak not of human cost, not of the devastating effects on the victims,  but of the financial devastation that would befall THEM, if forced to defend themselves.
 Wake up!  See them for what they are.. They are a business, a corporation always protecting the "bottom line", first and foremost, not the most vulnerable, just themselves
