¿Acaba de poner el Vaticano un lazo alrededor de su cuello?


Duración: 56 segundos

TRANSCRIPT

Last week Pope Francis ordered the U.S. bishops to abstain from voting on measures aimed at addressing homosexual abuse. Breitbart.com writes that this may have undermined the Vatican’s pillar of legal defense when charged in U.S. courts with negligence in dealing with homosex abuse, namely, the relative independence of the dioceses from Vatican oversight. Foreign governments have immunity from prosecution in U.S. courts. But there are exceptions, one of which is the so-called “tort exception” clause which applies when it can be demonstrated that U.S. bishops were following official Vatican policy. This could open the Holy See to multi-billion dollar claims.
