EXCLUSIVE: Democratic NY State Assemblyman Allegedly Threatens Rebellion To Block Markey Bill
Assemblyman Vito Lopez, a powerful Democratic leader in the NY State Assembly, wants to have his rejected bill – backed by the Catholic Church and Agudath Israel of America – brought to a floor vote by the Republicans.
A well placed source very close to the situation in the Assembly and Senate called from Albany early this morning to tell me Lopez is threatening to break party ranks and go over to the Republicans.
The backstory here is supposed to be Lopez's real estate dealings and links to Church-owned real estate. (The Church is one of the largest property owners in Brooklyn.)
The Bishop of Brooklyn, Nicholas DiMarzio has already threatened lawmakers backing the Markey Bill that the Church would close churches and schools specifically in the legislators' districts if Markey passes, as retaliation for their votes for Markey.
Lopez's misbehavior is why the Markey Bill was not voted on last night, and it remains unclear whether the Markey Bill will reach the floor for a vote and, if it does, if it will have the votes to pass.
Lopez and the Church seem to believe that the Assembly's speaker, Sheldon Silver, and other Democratic leaders are so shaken by the Republican coup the Senate that they will give in and kill the Markey Bill rather than face even a small rebellion in the Assembly.
I'll post more details as they become available.

Either someone is against the rape and sodomy of children, or they are not. Even if our Holy Mother Church is bankrupt and left with only one altar on which to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it would be well worth it. Our once ancient and honorable Faith must be cleansed of all corners where the smoke of satan has taken up residence. Our Crucified Lord hears the cries of HIS Spiritually Orphaned Children; and those responsible have much to fear from HIM, perhaps not in this life, but most certainly in the next.

It is time to call Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio's bluff.
No dioceses, parishes, churches or programs in the United States have been closed as the result of the revision of state laws on childhood sexual abuse in California or in Delaware.
And there is no possibility of any closing in these states.
Has anyone in New York asked DiMarzio to produce hard data to support such outrageous claims?
Has he produced any?
No, and he's not likely to because no such data exists!
Call his bluff.
Protect the children, past and present.
Pass the Markey/Duane Bill.
Open a civil window for previously time barred cases of childhood sexual abuse - by anyone!

Save the children and punish the pedophiles. It's not a hard decision.
The money changers are befuddled, unable to do the right thing. So what else is new?

P.S. Is New York a Pro-Pedophile state like Pennsylvania?

I know what it is like to be kneeling in church, saying my penance after confession; then to try to stand up to leave, only to have two strong hands push me back down to my knees. Then I would be pinned to the pew in front of me by a huge body. It was a pedophile priest pushing into me from the back, while his hands ran up and down my body and under my cloths. After that episode, I tried everything I could think of to avoid this priest but he would come to my CCD Class and take me out. I've tried to share the things he did to me, but no one will print it on line.
I Agree....SAVE THE CHILDREN & PUNISH THE PEDOPHILES!!!! If You Catholics Don't, Then You Are Just As Guilty As Those Who Have Raped And Sodomized The Children Of Our Church!!!!

The Catholic Church has "Obviously" been hi-jacked by a cowardly crowd that camoflages themselves with stained vestments.
I and many others have been called(by God) to do a work that is desperately needed in order to bring the church back to the people and cleanse the vestments that have been stained by un-holy acts that God abhors.
I say to the Bishops and to their blind- deaf minions that are Corrupt and have Corrupted, "Your Day of reconning is fast approaching"! Woe unto you

I would like to invite "ALL" to come to Albany and witness how the Catholic Church and other religious, openly & brazenly lobby our elected leaders with "Dark" whispers, threats, lies, and false propaganda. They have also hired countless high powered Lawyers,Lobbying firms and lobbyist to fight the Churchs victims of "Child Sexual Abuse".
To witness this evil as I have, just stand out side the Assembly Chambers and you will see Fr. Harrington fighting the victims of his "Morally Bankrupted" Church.
Fr. Harrington says,"the Church will go Bankrupt"...I say,"It already IS!!,Morally".

How much deceit does this religious group have. First of all, they will NEVER eliminate charities. Charities are a revenue stream, 65% paid for with tax dollars. Time to end that. They will NOT go bankrupt.
Next, 80% of bishops have been accused of sexual abuse of minors and cover-up. And this DOES NOT include one of my UN-NAMED abusers who is now bishop. Therefor follows that to get into the bishop group, one must be dirty.
Watch the politicians that support dirty bishops. Ask yourself, can you really trust them?
Remember the money laundering by the Catholic Bishops for the mafia in the 70's and 80's. This is a cash organization and some politicians, well you figure it out..
BTW: They can stop repeating what the church is telling our politicians to say about 40 and 50 year year old crimes. That is another manipulation.
Instead talk about the victim's 40 or 50 year trauma and mental illness caused by the most horrible criminals that raped and covered up abuses of small children. Imagine small children raped repeatedly,. Most don't hear about the small boys penetrated by these violent disgusting pedos.
If some have a difficult time understanding; Imagine a puppy who was beaten. Will that puppy become the same dog? Humans are the same if violently raped. Over 30% of males incarcerated where sexually abused and over 55% of women. Proof enough that it changes your life.
Also, most of these criminal priests and bishops have a history of child rape and cover-up, finding proof is easy.
Passing a law still places the burden of proof on the victim, so pass the original Markey bill and let's find out who the rest of the pedo's are.
There is zero reason NOT to pass the original Markey bill, except for the deceit of politicians who do not care for those citizens they are suppose to represent.
Another note, those sexually abused children have a much lower life span. Yes, that is true. Loosing a childhood, children threatened by these bully bishops from telling anyone and the children lived in isolation - get it now?.
The worse the abuse, the much longer it takes for a victims mind to feel safe. The 40 and 50 year old crimes are the worse, and they expose the bishops too - get it now?
Just at that moment the realization that they never lived their life. Imagine the trauma, most couldn't and turn their brains off because it would be too horrible a thought. Add a lower life span and it is the most horrible life imaginable. Who are our politicians protecting?
Remember, politicians, who you are suppose to help. And tell the RCC to stop saying "They did it too." In California and other states, it has been proven that the number of RCC clergy abuses and cover-ups overwhelm any other organization. Remember; overwhelm, huge, significantly higher numbers of child rape. I did say child rape? Anyone waking up yet?
