Washington Catholic church bosses want to kill new Maryland law allowing clergy abuse lawsuits.
Quote:The Archdiocese of Washington is seeking to overturn the Maryland law that allows survivors of child sex abuse to bring forward claims no matter when the abuse happened, the News4 I-Team learned.
"The church has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to block this legislation from moving forward for the last 10 years, yet they preach something that they won't practice, so I'm very disappointed,” said Maryland Del. CT Wilson, D-District 28, who sponsored the bill. “It's not a surprise, because I've seen the lengths that they go to to try and keep this quiet."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
