Sue the parishioners!

This seems fishy. People trying to sue local catholic parishes have come to some resistance, as the archdiocese has claimed that the property and assets of the church partially belong to the parrish, I.E. the congregation itself.
No problem,

The fight over who owns Roman Catholic parishes in Western Oregon took a major step forward this week when U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Perris allowed the creation of a class of defendants -- including all past, present and future parishioners -- who will be sued over the issue.

Past AND Future???? Basically anyone who has given money in the form of a tithe or offering. I don't see how that's going to wash. Really there's only one rational reason for initiating this kind of lawsuit, and that's to financially penalize the defendant. But in this case the defendant doesn't seem to have enough money.
The priests who are at issue, the ones who sexually abused someone in years past, don't get hired or scrutinized by the parishioners. In a protestant church that's much more likely, but catholic priests are appointed by the diocese. The problem was that the diocese tried to cover up the offenses, so the diocese is at fault here, not the parishioners.

Class members will not be personally and financially liable if they lose the case. But their parish assets may be sold or mortgaged to help pay for claims against the archdiocese.

Asking for millions will not help the victims of this horrible offense. Obviously they have strayed from the faith because of it, and that's sad. The Bible would say that if you don't forgive and try to move on, you'll never even begin to heal. Money ain't going to do it.
Don't make all the other parishioners suffer too.
