Friday, August 19, 2005 Pope Benny Wants Bush to Give Him Immunity Chicago Sun Times: Lawyers for Pope Benedict XVI have asked Pres Bush to declare the pontiff immune from liability in a lawsuit that accuses him of conspiring to cover up the molestation of three boys by a seminarian in TX, crt records show. I am speechless. I knew this Pope had behaved questionably in regards to the sex abuse scandals in the past, but this just sickens me. There is some hope that justice can be served: The lawyer who is suing Pope Benedict XVI said he would challenge the US diplomatic recognition of the Vatican if the pope is given immunity in the case. Joseph Ratzinger - Benedict's former name - is named as a defendant in the civil lawsuit, accused of conspiring with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to cover up the abuse of three boys during the mid-90s. Who would Jesus molest and conspire with? |
