It's the same old invalid "you can't criticize fairies if you don't have a PhD in fairyology or work-experience with the master fairy" argument.

In a way I'm glad this keeps being brought up. It only highlights the need to expose such bogus "academic" fields for what they really are.

2. Insurance for Sex Abuse: A policy tailor-made for the Catholic church

Question -- why are they able to settle out of court in the first place? Isn't rape a criminal offense, persecuted by the state/DA? They should not have been able to get away with this no more than a killer could "settle out of court" with the victim's family.

The optimal scenario would be a lengthy imprisonment AND a hefty fine (pay out by insurance if you must), as ordered by the court. This would show no one is above the law. Anything less reeks of injustice.

But alas... money talks...

3. Christians disrupt Hindu Prayer at Senate Invocation

"we are Christians and patriots"

Patriots? These people have no regards for human rights and the freedom of religion guaranteed by the constitution.

Either you allow all religions to have public prayers, or you allow none.

4. LA Church 'agrees abuse pay deal'

Interesting that an insurance plan would cover the settlement fee for child molestation. But what's more interesting, is the Church actually subscribes to, and makes use of, such an insurance plan. They knew it's very likely that things like this would happen!?
