There should be no monetary awards to people who come crawling out of the woodwork after 30 years nor should their suits be allowed. They have had sufficient time and opportunity to raise their issue and failed to do so. It doesen't take anyone 30 years to speak out if it's really an issue with them. Only, now, when there's money involved, are they bellying up to the trough. In this latest case there is no allegation of damages and since "it's never about the money", why ask for any? These people should be satisfied that the Catholic church is finally taking proactive steps to address the problem. I find it curious that haven't been any recent allegations of abuse..........just these dusty, musty cases that are piling on for the money.
