If you’re a Roman Catholic legislator …

… in Pennsylvania, you may find yourself targeted for public odium in the church bulletin.

Roman Catholic legislators say they have been publicly shamed during Mass and disinvited from parish events as the Philadelphia Archdiocese campaigns against a bill that would give victims of child sexual abuse more time to sue the church. State Representative Nick Miccarelli said he was shocked to learn that the weekly bulletin at his church targeted him. Under the headline “Just So You Are Aware,” the announcement read, “State Representative Miccarelli voted in favor of House Bill 1947, which states that private institutions can be sued as far as 40 years ago for millions of dollars, while public institutions may not be sued for any crimes.”

Honestly, I don’t know how any educated, decent-minded adult can belong to any church.
