Recently, the Catholic Diosocese of Chicago came under heavy fire because the Church here knows about pedophile Preists, and covered it up. However, the Church has offered to now turn over all information they have on Catholic peodphiles, especially Preists.
At first, Mayor Daley, a Roman Catholic tried to say that the Catholic Church is no worse than other denominations ... but he still hated to see this problem in the Church. He subsequently has called for the State of Illinois to "abolish" the Statute of Limitation on reporting and prosecuting sex offenders, especially pedophiles.
[b]Could you ever imagine ...
a local JW Circuit or District Overseer standing up on the news, calling for a political chnage in legislation that would enable JW victims to seek redress of their grievance be asking that the Statute of Limitations be dropped?Yes, the Catholic Church was dead wrong to cover up and hide and move these Preists. Yes, the Catholic Mayor did minimize the Church comparitively ... yet they still have the freedom and integrity to speak out and do something meaningful ... and something far more than the Watchtower religion would ever do.
