Is It Fair That The Innocent Pay For The Guilty?

Here you go, folks! This should be a wake up call for all Catholics, but alas, I suspect many will not want to be awaken from their comfortable slumber. The day may come when they awake and notice their 'surroundings' have changed, for the worse!

An additional 67 million victims of the sexual abuse scandals on the horizon

State legislatures across the nation are now being pressured to lift or extend retroactively their statutes of limitations related to sexual abuse. This will permit thousands of civil tort lawsuits to be brought against the Catholic Church, which are presently barred. These legal actions are based on real or imaginary sexual abuse alleged to have occurred decades ago. Those pushing these lawsuits hope to extract billions from the Church.

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property –TFP calls on the Catholic faithful to fight these extraordinary legislative efforts with utmost vigor. We strongly believe that these retroactive changes to statutes of limitations today are supremely unfair since the burden of the punitive damages will be borne by the Catholic faithful in general, not the individual criminals or their accomplices.

As the financial consequences of this sacking of the Catholic Church’s assets are felt in Catholic homes at large, the faith of millions will be shaken, clearly tilting the scales of America’s Cultural War in favor of the secularist anti-religious camp.

America has never experienced the butchery of bishops and priests that characterized the persecution of the Church by atheistic Communism during the twentieth century or the Jacobins during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror (1793-1794). However, our nation may soon witness the same wholesale confiscation of Church property that accompanied these bloody persecutions.

Every Catholic should read this article. It continues with the following headings:
________________________________
PILLAGING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON A MASSIVE SCALE

SEXUAL ABUSE IS A GENERAL PROBLEM OF A HYPERSEXUALIZED CULTURE

THE DROP IN RECENT SEXUAL ABUSE CASES SUGGEST THAT EFFECTIVE MEASURES ARE BEING TAKEN

“REPRESSED MEMORY” IS A TRAVESTY OF SCIENCE AND SUBVERTS THE RULE OF LAW

IS IT JUST TO PUNISH THE INNOCENT CATHOLIC FAITHFUL FOR CRIMES OF THE GUILTY?

THE WEAKENING OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE CULTURAL WAR AND WILL TEST THE FAITH OF MILLIONS

ARE WE SEEING A NEW PERSECUTION AGAINST THE CHURCH?

Get involved now! Here is what you can do.

We are gearing up for a campaign at Statehouses where these laws are being considered. We think this is an issue that extends beyond state borders and are asking our readers to protest. The first such protest is in Ohio where the judiciary committee is looking at such legislation.

Ask the state congressmen to consider the consequences of their action on the nation. Tell them there have been enough victims. Tell them not to add 65 million more Catholics who will be made to pay for the guilty. Click below to send your message to the members of the House Judiciary Committee in Ohio about SB 17 which allows a one or two year “look back” period where the statute of limitations is lifted and plaintiffs can sue for sex abuse cases..

1. Send an instant protest email to To the Ohio House Judiciary Committee to delete the provisions in SB 17 which allow a one or two year “look back” period where the statute of limitations is lifted and plaintiffs can sue for sex abuse cases.

2. Email this article to all your friends.

3. Make a financial contribution to the American TFP, to aid its efforts in defense of Holy Mother Church
