Church sex abuse: Is the matter settled?
The Roman Catholic Church has been forced to address the issue of widespread sexual abuse involving priests. Some Catholic laity declare that after months of publicity, they want to put this issue behind them, and there are claims that priests are gathering more support. Is this an issue that's ready to be put to rest?
IL : The Vatican could apply a 10-year statute of limitations on sexual abuse accusations against priests in a revised version of the U.S. bishops' sex abuse policy, said Chicago Cardinal Francis George, prompting outrage from victims.
CA: A slumping stock market coupled with a series of settlements in priest sex abuse cases has caused the Catholic Diocese of Orange to post a $14.3 million loss.

This is not some far-out Orwellian scenario. It is what will happen to your personal freedom in the next few weeks if John Poindexter gets the unprecedented power he seeks.
Remember Poindexter? Brilliant man, first in his class at the Naval Academy, later earned a doctorate in physics, rose to national security adviser under President Ronald Reagan.
