To Hell With The Establishment Clause!

Content to ascribe the bad acts of several bishops on the whole hierarchy, and viewing the Church as nothing more than an international institution that is comparable to La Cosa Nostra, Car(b)ozo School of Law Pinhead demands that the Federal government criminally prosecute the Church under RICO.

A federal RICO prosecution would force the Church to confront its problems more directly by forcing it to face a federal prosecutorial juggernaut, as opposed to isolated local actions. While worthwhile, commendable, and necessary, these local prosecutions are not enough to prompt the thoroughgoing national, institutional reforms needed.
