Could the Vatican Go To Court For Human-Rights Abuses?

When a group of victims of pedophile priests announced on Sept. 13 that they would ask the International Criminal Court (ICC) to try the Pope on charges of crimes against humanity, the Vatican was quick to dismiss the petition as a "ludicrous publicity stunt."
After all, prosecutors would have to prove that Pope Benedict XVI, in allegedly neglecting to address pervasive sex abuse in the Catholic Church, belongs in the company of Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic, Liberia's Charles Taylor and the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide.

    oh please the church got away with the Crusades and the Inquisition it has always had ambitions and preyed on the poor and weak minded you think they have not always had perverts in their minions
    who else could you get to do it
    its the largest corporation in the world with the fewest tears of management
    you think the local power does not corrupt and abuse its lack of over seeing
    the church was politics before democracy
    and that is just power for ya
    pay prey and obey
    bend over and shut your communion wafer hole
