This is very curious!!! Why would the Catholic Church appose this bill? !!!!!!!! Theres growing awareness in America and beyond that child abuse can happen anywhere – in any community or institution. Yet even liberal states like New York still have barriers to justice. Assemblywoman Margaret Markey has brought up a bill in New Yorks state legislature for seven years now to lengthen or end the statute of limitations. She first learned of this issue when a constituent came to her about past abuse. Like any decent person, Markey wanted to help, but she realized because of the age of the victim, there would be no legal action. The Catholic church has largely led the opposition to the bill, spending $100,000 a year on a lobbyist and lobby activities against it, but the events of the last few years have demonstrated to everyone what Assemblywoman Markey has said all along: this is not a church or a religious problem, its a societal problem, said Mike Armstrong, Markeys spokesman.
