Catholic League President celebrates defeat of Child Victims Act - NY Daily News

If my vague recollection serves me correctly, both Pennsylvania and New York were both seeking an extension of the statute of limitations in regards to church sex abuse against children.  Due to my self imposed exile, I am not familiar with the arguments from either side.  What I did find telling was this part of Donohoe's statement noted by NY Daily News:
“If the statute of limitations were lifted on offenses involving the sexual abuse of minors, the only winners would be greedy and bigoted lawyers out to line their pockets in a rash of settlements,” Donohue railed. “The big losers would be the poor, about whom the attorneys and activists care little: When money is funneled from parishioners to lawyers, services to the needy suffer. “
Well Mr Donohoe, maybe if your church didn't have a 50+ year history of cover-up that has finally hit the light of day, you wouldn't feel as if your money cow was being "raped".

Let's remove the denominational bias for the moment, as we all know this is not just a Catholic problem, and the fact that the Catholic League is independent organization that does not speak authoritatively for the Church.  I have this question to ask of Mr Donohoe:  Are you fucking human?
