WHEREAS there is a large legal loophole that would permit virtually any crime, including very serious crimes such as threats of sexual assault, theft, bribery, or anything else, and
WHEREAS the problem lies with the fact that we're offering unlimited and unqualified sanctuary under terms which clearly reference the medieval Christian practice of offering church protection from secular law, thereby allowing anyone to claim the right of sanctuary if accused of crimes, and
WHEREAS it's hard to find any other way to interpret this bit of the law so that it makes sense, and so therefore this reading probably is going to be a valid one, or at the very least would be an incredible complication that might make it impossible to prosecute someone, and
WHEREAS no one has yet taken advantage of it, but there's no reason to think that will last forever,
THEREFORE the tenth section of Title A of el Lexhatx, which currently reads
10. The Ziu hereby recognizes the historic right of churches and other religious organizations to offer sanctuary to individuals in dire need.
is hereby stricken in its entirety.
FURTHERMORE, the words "Except as provided in A.17," shall be struck from section 16.
FURTHERMORE, the Scribe is directed to renumber Title A in a sensible fashion.
