The Catholic Church in New York has spent millions of dollars in
recent years to stop a law that would make it easier for victims of
child sex abuse to sue their attackers, the New York Daily News reported Monday.
The state’s Catholic Conference has hired some of New York’s most influential lobbying firms, including Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, Patricia Lynch & Associates, Hank Sheinkopf, and Mark Behan Communications. They spent more than $2.1 million from 2007 through 2015 lobbying against the Child Victims Act as well as for or against other bills, according to state records.
