CATHOLIC CHURCH FACING ANOTHER LEGAL TIME BOMB
I’m not anti Catholic but this cover-up is outrageous

The Catholic Church’s recent pedophilia crimes has resulted in several lawsuits against multiple archdioceses. There has been a pattern of huge cover ups and cash payoffs because of this. The Vatican is a defendant in at least five lawsuits filed by sexual abuse victims who claim sovereign or diplomatic immunity is no defense for the battered institution known as the Roman Catholic Church. This trend will likely continue as more victims come forward and more lawsuits are filed.
Another devastating crime the Vatican faces, which may be even more horrible, is the mass killing of people during the Second World War. In November 2003, Ukrainian Holocaust survivors later joined by Serb and Jewish plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against the Vatican Bank, alleging the laundering of Nazi World War II loot including the proceeds of genocide from several Croatian run concentration camps where up-wards of 2,000,000 Serbs were liquidated between 1940 and 1945.
The Vatican Bank has claimed immunity to the lawsuit declaring that it is only a small part of the Holy See. Immunity is not available for the Vatican Bank which is no stranger to scandal.
The Vatican is particularly vulnerable to legal process since it is both a Church and a state, but has only enjoyed United States recognition since 1973 as a sovereign entity. In the case of the pedophilia cover up, a Vatican policy of protecting guilty priests violates customary international law as well as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has been ratified by over 190 nations including the Holy See and expressly prohibits sexual exploitation of children.
The Vatican Hypocrites feel they are above man’s laws. There is a parallel here because after World War II this evil Church helped Nazi war criminals escape justice. Now it is pedophile priests who have escaped punishment with help from these Catholic monsters. These are nothing less than actions of a rogue state and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
