text: What are the Church’s Motives? Why Brooklyn?
  The Catholic Church in New York has very calculated motives with these IRCP programs. I believe it was a part of a deal to kill the Child Victims’ Act. I’m guessing Dolan and his pals said, “Hey, you kill this bill and we will roll out these plans across the state. The protesters will go away by the time the next legislative session starts up, we promise.”
  
  And they have other priorities:
  * They want to stop legislative reform for ALL victims of child sexual abuse. If it works in NY, they are going to try and roll out these plans across the country.
  * They want the good publicity
  * They want to stop the document bleed that happens with litigation—those damning documents that show how priests were moved around, kids were abused and the crimes were covered up, parents were kept in the dark, and collusion was everywhere.
