IN the NEWS - Pennsylvania acting out 2 Peter 2:13,14

Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution,
whether it be to the emperor as supreme,
or to governors as sent by him
to punish those who do evil.....
1 Peter 2:13,14

"Pennsylvania state Rep. Mark Rozzi declared that "judgment day is upon us" as he spoke about the victims of clergy child sex abuse.

On Tuesday night, the statehouse voted 173–21 on a proposal to
give victims of child sex abuse in Pennsylvania more time to file lawsuits against clergy they say have abused them.... the bill is now going to be put up for a Senate vote, which will determine whether a two-year window for litigation is going to be created.

The push for reform comes following revelations that hundreds of Roman Catholic priests abused children in the state going back to the 1940s. Similar revelations in other states and around the world have rocked the Vatican to its core.

Pope Francis, who himself has been accused of covering up for a church leader suspected of committing abuse, meanwhile admitted in a visit to Estonia that the sex abuse scandal is driving away young people from the Catholic Church."
