I’ve read this like 3 times and idk what I’m not getting here that means they can’t be tried other than them saying “uhhh we’re straight up protecting pedophiles”
It goes further than that. They're straight up protecting anybody who has committed any form of SA long enough ago that they can only be charged under "lookback window" laws, because they think being tried after such a long time frame violates the right to due process.
Cool legal system
I hate statute of limitations so fucking much, literally just exists to protect nonces
No, it's okay everybody! He doesn't have the right to sexually abuse children, just the right not to face legal action for it!
The Louisiana Child Victims Act, according to the court, “cannot be retroactively applied to revive plaintiffs’ prescribed causes of action” on the basis that such an action would “divest defendants of their vested right to plead prescription.”
"CSA victims using a law enacted to help get justice for CSA victims against child sexual abusers would be depriving child sexual abusers of their rights"
I want an equivalent of the burning American flag for the church.
can't just go for the burning cross though, would look...not great lol
I know and it irritates me forever. Fuck the racist clowns for that too
We could do a burning Vatican City flag, I think.
YEAH! 
Identifying protecting child abusers.
Yep it's child abuse.
Oh so they're just being honest about not caring now

I thought we solved this when Thomas Becket got got.
A significant point of contention was jurisdiction over criminal cases regarding clerics, even if only in minor orders.
Using property rights to keep from being charged for CSA?
Libertarian moment
I wanted to visit Louisiana at one point. Listen to the tunes, drink a Sazerac, eat some crawdads. Suddenly I find that less appealing.
Lousiana, baby, no.
