It'll never come to pass, you cannot target the Vatican and win, they're too well shielded for that.

I agree....but readily admit this issue is far from ended and there could well be some interesting developments in the future.

Two problems:
One - the people wanting to push this have no legal standing to do so. Any suit brought would be civil in nature - not criminal - because the people bringing it are not in law enforcement. Human rights lawyers cannot charge the Pope directly, they can only request that it be done to a governmental agency charged with such duty. A government going along with suing the Vatican ain't happening anytime soon. That means the only actions they can pursue would be civil cases. No one is going to be arrested on a civil case. While they could claim to represent "society as a whole" in such a civil matter, any court would throw out the lawsuit because those bringing it have no interest in the matter - other than a political one. They were personally not harmed by the situations in question - and as such would be deemed to "lack standing" to make such a case. Political / anti-religious stunts are not going to solve this problem. Its a crying shame that people would take advantage of the suffering and abuse of others to try and push their own agenda. I don't care for the Catholic church - but if your going to clean it up - this isn't the way. Its grandstanding and little more than a cry for attention personally and for the way the people involved choose to think. Pitiful.

As a head of State, wouldn't the pope also have diplomatic immunity? Not to mention that he wasn't in charge when most of the offences took place.

The catholic church, like any other church, is a pointless entity, the faster it ****s off and dies, the better.

The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998. Dawkins and Hitchens believe the Pope would be unable to claim diplomatic immunity from arrest because, although his tour is categorised as a state visit, he is not the head of a state recognised by the United Nations. <Quoted from the article linked in the OP> |
