Statute of Limitations on child abuse in PA is completely *off topic* from USCCB imposing penalties for Trump’s immigration policies.

That is what happens to conversations. Please read previous posts.

The article also happens to be very badly written and lacking facts.

Names given, announcement at a public meeting of what will happen. When the report is released that releases the details, I will ping you so you can see more facts.

It could appear this was posted for purpose of defaming religion or bashing Catholics. I hope I’m mistaken.

It was posted as yet one more reason why many of us left the Roman church - which was the immediate context. Most of us came to saving faith in Christ and then left, but many leave because of sexual abuse also. The Roman church allowed, hid and shuffled around pedophiles worldwide. It is ongoing, organized, and shameful.

As a practicing Protestant I always yet have to bow to the divine humility that kept the chain of faith from generation to generation alive through ages of church officialdoms that were positively terrible and wrongheaded.

Complaining about a split is a bit late when the Catholic/Orthodox opened that door well before any Reformer. If an event doesn’t nudge everyone closer to the Lord, it was in vain. C. S. Lewis was a modern who noticed the commonalities in Christendom over the differences.
