Should the Bishops Sue the "Sexperts"?

From California Catholic Daily:

California's Dr. Judith Reisman urges bishops to take action against sex therapy experts who have advised the Church. And, if they don't, the laity should.

California-based lecturer and author, Dr. Judith Reisman (she holds a Ph.D. in Communications) has served as an expert witness in lawsuits involving sexual abuse. Her research paper, "Reliance of the Catholic Church on Sexuality Advisors Whose Moral Foundation Differs Markedly from that of the Church," was submitted to a select group of bishops in 2002, so far without official response. California Catholic Daily interviewed Reisman on Aug. 12.

You want the Church to sue the clinics where the priests and psychologists had been trained. Are there legal precedents ?

Yes, medical malpractice is one approach that immediately comes to mind. These “sexperts” held themselves out as authorities; bishops and vocations directors listened and commonly followed their directives. Yet, almost all of these "sexperts" built their therapies on the fraudulent research of Kinsey and his disciples.

Could the ordinary Catholic laity seek damages, for instance through a class-action suit?

I did speak with several attorneys who confirmed that the Catholic laity was empowered to seek such damages. As “the Church” the laity would have legal standing for redress of grievances, loss of religious trust and amity, and other claims due to the fraud and harms perpetrated by bogus sex experts.

That bishops were duped by such frauds and quacks is inexcusable...The fact that efforts have not been taken to hold these 'experts' accountable, likewise is inexcusable. It takes courage to fight evil and courage seems to be in short supply these days.
