EU rights court rejects sex abuse case against Vatican, cites immunity
of sovereign states
The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday rejected a case by
alleged victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests who sought to hold
the Vatican responsible, saying the Holy See benefited from legal
immunity granted to sovereign states.
The ruling came as the Church is reeling from a scathing French report
that found "massive" child sex assaults by clergy since 1950, with an
estimated 216,000 abused minors.
Victims' advocates have demanded reparations and prosecutions, and
Pope Francis -- who has vowed to end impunity for abusive priests --
expressed his "shame" over the independent French report released last
week.

Another example of the core values of the RCC. More child abuse and
so much child rape. Give to the RCC help them rape children?
