HAS THE AGUDAH LEADERSHIP SOLD OUT OUR CHILDREN BY MAKING A DEAL WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO KILL THE "CHILD VICTIMS ACT" TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AND NOT FIGHTING THE GAY MARRIAGE BILL

Eliminating the statute of limitations for sexual abuse has cost the Catholic Church in a few states especially California and Delaware   over a billion dollars.  It was killed last year by Albany.  Was there a behind the scenes warning to the church and other religious leaders that if they objected strongly on gay marriage the bill to eliminate the statute of limitations would pass? AGUDATH LEADERSHIP AND ARCHBISHOP DOLAN"S lack of anger yesterday demands more investigation. Or was it a profoundly changing power dynamic, where Wall Street donors and gay-rights advocates demonstrated more might and muscle than a Roman Catholic hierarchy and an ineffective opposition. PASSAGE OF A SPONSORED BILL THE "CHILD VICTIMS ACT"  BY ASSEMBLYWOMAN MARGARET MARKEY WOULD COST THE CHURCHES AND YESHIVAS OVER 2 BILLION DOLLARS BY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES.THE PASSAGE OF THIS BILL WOULD OPEN A WINDOW UPON WHERE VICTIMS CAN SUE THEIR PERPETRATORS AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS, YESHIVAS FOR CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE PAST  .THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY THE(RCA)THE RABBINICAL COUNCIL OF AMERICA,(O.U)ORTHODOX  CONGREGATIONS ,    THE   RABBINICAL    ALLIANCE OF AMERICA      AND MAJOR JEWISH AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS.

 WHY    IS THE CHURCH AND AGUDATH ISRAEL OF AMERICA  MORE CONCERNED ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR ASSETS THEN PROTECTING OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN

 

WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS HISTORIC LEGISLATION  TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN BE PASSED IN ALBANY AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY OUR GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO
