Pope Benedict XVI may be the first Pope to be impeached. Three men from Kentucky are filling a case against the Vatican after claiming to be abused by priests. This is the only case to have ever been filed against the Vatican and could possibly be charged with all sexual offenses in that country.
There is said to be a 1962 Vatican document that mandated the Bishops not to report any activities to the police. There are constantly more and more cases of abuse coming out amongst the churches. This is going to be a very long process in finding justice to all the victims but in the end justice will be served.

ReplyDelete• Who or what could be charged?
• "There is said" is poor wording. Who said it?
• Should have been: mandated that the bishops not report
• The last sentence is opinion and should be attributed.
