The California legislature and governor have just ended the stature of limitations on old abuse cases. This action violates the cause of justice. In most cases the alleged perpetrator is dead. How is any defense possible? Though rarely reported in the secular press, priestly abuse is now virtually non-existent.

And who has been forced to pay? Not the perpetrators of the crimes. "The Church", meaning innocent Catholics have footed the bill. While great evil has been done, I am suspicious when almost all who allege a crime are after the money. It is also interesting that our legislators are lawyers, and they never pass bills that hurt their potential income.

When former Tonight show host Johnny Carson was asked what to call a group of whales, he said "pod". When asked what to call a group of lawyers, he replied "a Greed" of lawyers. Amen!
