   Betcha they'll deal with the evangelical preacher/child abuse problem by legalizing (or decriminalizing) child porn for upstanding white male pastors of conservative churches. Know thy enemy, and all that.

     @Oggie I'm giving up on writing political satire, I swear, but how about: the Catholic Church starts to demand communicants sign NDAs and accept binding arbitration before being allowed to enter the confessional (a religious requirement). Then sues the hell out of anyone accusing a clergyman of sexual abuse for breach of contract.
