I could be wrong, but my impression has been that many of those "clinics" were run by the Church in some form -- I mean, will this mean one diocese suing another or suing an Order that ran a clinic? Even for those clinics (if there were such) with no Church affiliation, I think way too many in authority in the Church were way too eager to spread that codswallop for the Church as an institution to have anything like "clean hands" for legal purposes.
I believe you are correct in attributing many connections between bishops and sex clinics.In my estimation,this is all the more reason we should encourage Dr.Judith Reissman to pursue this lawsuit. It seems to me,as this scandal goes on and on that there was a deliberate intent to destroy the Catholic Church that was contrived by secular humanists outside of the Church,marxists and "progressives" both within and outside of the Church and quite a few bishops and priests within the Church.
I think,that at this point,the "planners" expected the steady drumbeat of measures they wanted taken to have moved Rome to act.Their dream to relax the celibacy requirement,allow women in the priesthood and democratize the Church is not coming easily,as they had hoped. In fact,the scandal has focused attention on homosexuality,a subject that they absolutely do not want to look at.
Certainly we can see that many of the power player USCCB bishops and bureaucracy are not taking the initiative and acting.They are just keeping quiet and waiting for it to blow over,a groundswell of support for law suits where they would have to testify is just what they deserve.
One,ordinarily very holy and kind Catholic poster on another thread finally said "you can't kill what you can't see". Dr. Reissman,bless her,has come up with another way to "smoke 'em out". Whether it goes anywhere or not,the thought should send chills up a lot of bishops spines and if we can do nothing else,we can hope that they are scared silly and very uncomfortable. Yes,they need to pursue a lawsuit against the sexologists and their clinics.Now that that the Church has captured the attention of American society,let it serve to shine a light on the seamy,deadly side of homosexuality.
