The Worst Person in Brooklyn

Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, who has threatened to close churches in the districts of state legislature if they vote to extend the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse:

Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio threatened state lawmakers by vowing to close churches in their districts -- and blame them for the closures -- if they dared support a bill making it easier for people who were sexually assaulted as kids to sue, legislators told The Post.

I guess it's because that, you know, it might be expensive for the church.

Here's an idea, how about Not Letting Your Priests Rape Children!

That would save even more money.

One note is that it appears that the good Bishop's attempts at blackmail backfired, and a number of legislators are seriously looking at supporting the bill now.
