Japan orders dissolution of Unification Church

Court in Japan orders the dissolution of the Unification Church. The man accused of killing former prime minister Shinzo Abe said he did so because the church was responsible for his family's financial troubles. Apparently the court agreed:

Lawyers representing those seeking damages from the church welcomed the court decision as a major first step toward redress.

“We must pursue our effort to achieve redress and to prevent future problems,” head lawyer Susumu Murakoshi told reporters, demanding the church accept the dissolution order and offer an apology and compensation to all victims.

Can you imagine if we did this for, say, churches that institutionally protected child molesters?
