- The New York Catholic Conference is spending millions fighting state
reforms to the current statute of limitations requirements.
According to a report by the New York Daily News, the state's Catholic Conference, under the direction of Cdl. Timothy Dolan, has employed some of New York's most prominent lobbying firms to assist in blocking the passage of the proposed Child Victims Act, legislation that would seek to eliminate "both criminal and civil statutes of limitation for child sexual abuse, preventing predators and their protectors from escaping responsibility for their crimes by waiting out the clock."
