The other day,,,

The last week, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League posted this,,,

We'll ignore his disingenuous language for the moment and focus on two points.

1] I want to remind people that within a week of the AG report becoming public,

 A Roman Catholic priest was charged Tuesday with groping a 17-year-old girl and sending her nude images of himself, just a week after a Pennsylvania grand jury reported the church had covered up decades of priests' child molestation across the state.

The charges of felony corruption of minors and misdemeanor indecent assault against the Rev. Kevin Lonergan, 30, a Pottstown, Pennsylvania, native who most recently served as pastor at the Cathedral of St. Catherine of Siena in Allentown, were not a result of the landmark grand jury investigation but stemmed from a complaint filed in June after the grand jury had finished its work, authorities said.

This is but one of many current abuse related cases that pepper this blog. So yes Bill, this is an ongoing problem and not one from a century ago.

These are cases were the victims are, for the most part, still alive; some of the perps are not. You make it sound as if nobody should be accountable for an institutional problem.

As a reminder the issue of child sexual abuse is not only a RCC problem nor is it a religious one!

2] According to Bill we are to ignore all the abuse cases that have occurred in the last 70 years, like this one,

A former priest implicated in the explosive Pennsylvania child sex abuse report served at multiple Colorado churches in the early 1980s, just a few years after allegedly engaging in repeated sexual assault of three brothers in Pennsylvania.

Stephen Edward Jeselnick, 67, was among hundreds of clergymen accused of child sexual abuse by a Pennsylvania grand jury last month. The two-year investigation revealed that leaders within six Catholic dioceses worked to hide the sexual abuse of more than 1,000 children over 70 years.

Jeselnick, who currently lives in Colorado Springs, served in the Archdiocese of Denver for nearly seven months from December 1982 to June 1983 on a trial assignment, according to the Archdiocese. Just a few years prior, in the late 1970s, he allegedly engaged in repeated sexual assault of three brothers in Meadeville, Pa., according to the grand jury report. The Pennsylvania brothers, now adults, told the grand jury that Jeselnick’s abuse included genital fondling, oral sex and anal sex, the report states. Jeselnick allegedly abused them in their home and at church, where their mother worked, the report continues.

Initially assigned to St. Mary’s Church in Littleton, Jeselnick was reassigned to the Shrine of St. Anne Church in Arvada in the spring of 1983.

He then served at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Colorado Springs as assistant pastor from 1983 to 1985. He requested, but was denied, formal acceptance into the Colorado Springs diocese in 1985, the grand jury report states, before joining the Air Force as a chaplain.

all because the SOL ran out.

What you haven't mentioned Bill is that you, celebrated the defeat of the Child Victims Act (NY-2016). Comparing it to “rape” of the Catholic Church over the issue of child sex abuse.  Sorry Bill it doesn't work that way!

To borrow from Hitch, you Mr Donohue - your church -  has institutionalized the rape and torture of children.

And for the record Bill, your lobbying and the church's lobbying in reality show the Church's guilt. You have admitted that the child abuse problem and its potential cost to the Church are bigger than we know. Despite promises Pope Francis has no plans for justice or compensation for victims

My question to you Mr. Donohue is why?  Why are you so against legal justice?  Why spend over $2 million on lobbying from 2007 through the end of 2015,  want to prevent this bill from passage? Why would you not want to end many legal roadblocks for victims of childhood sexual abuse?

Answer:: you dont want your money cow being "raped".

While we're at it Bill, about your use of Soviet style propaganda,,,

You are content to play the "what-aboutism" game. Forgetting that people who are guilty can find comfort in finding others to be as bad or worse.  As I noted above about your lobbying, you have admitted to the child abuse problem.  You discredit yourself as a critic.   Rhetorical devices prevent discussion of issues at hand; it is a strategy of false moral equivalences.

Neither Hollywood nor public schools hold themselves to a higher moral standard.  Nor do they expect gov't or individuals to cow-tow to your special needs.
