Another way to allow the continued molestation of children???

from usatoday 2 weeks ago:

Vatican enjoys foreign immunity in abuse case

A federal judge in Kentucky has ruled that the Holy See is a foreign state that enjoys certain immunity protections, placing restrictions on a lawsuit by three men who allege the Vatican covered up the sexual abuse of children by priests.

This case is similar to one in Texas which names Joseph Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI, as a defendant in a sex abuse case. The U.S. Justice Department told the court last month that the case should be dismissed because Benedict enjoys immunity as head of state of the Holy See. The judge in that case hasn't ruled.

Oh, what to do, what to do?
