 The Pope´s Case

THE POPE´S CASE is a devastating accusation against the Vatican due to the way it has operated a secret legal system that protects pedophile priests around the world in order to save them from a criminal trial.

From the legal point of view of the malpractice that has allowed so many terrible crimes to remain unpunished, is the Pope responsible? Should he and the Holly See, center of his power, continue enjoying the immunity that puts them above the law?

Geoffrey Robertson, Counselor of the Queen of England and distinguished lawyer and judge in human rights, expresses his deep respect for the good deeds of the Catholic people and of its Church, but says that unless the pope Benedict XVI is stripped of the charms of the statehood and of the devotion to the obsolete Canon Law, the Vatican will continue being a powerful enemy to make progress on human rights.
