Reply to comment by [deleted] in Clergy reporting bill fails to make key legislative deadline over constitutional concerns by RamaSchneider

I guess the kids could challenge on the basis of constitutional protections too, but they'd have to do that after the fact and all the damage. The churches get to cover up the abuse in a proactive fashion.

Fine, maybe a court would throw it out, but until that moment there'd be that much more protections for the children.

So tell me how it works then, and let's figure out how to keep religious leaders from covering up some of the worst crimes imaginable.

PS. I don't think ANY religion will be found to legally aid and abet child molestation, rape, murder and torture. I do not think that will be found constitutional.

I am pretty sure the Catholics legally aided their rapists by hiding them and moving them location to location. Murder is totally okay in a lot of religions, especially if deemed holy by another human. Torture, see murder.
