UN panel reprimands Vatican for paedophilia


Contrary to their statement about jurisdiction, the Vatican consistently interferes in investigation by local authorities with legal jurisdiction
into padre perpetrated paedophilia around the world. The Vatican consistently interferes, bullies and browbeats judicial systems around the world into exculpating padre perverts - and even whisks away the perverts to other countries far away from the reach of legal authorities with jurisdiction to prosecute.

There was a recent case of a padre in Ooty, Tamil Nadu whose prosecution was prevented at the Vatican's instance.

 "GENEVA: The Vatican came under blistering criticism from a UN committee Thursday for its handling of the global priest sex abuse scandal, facing its most intense public grilling to date over allegations that it protected pedophile priests at the expense of victims.

The Vatican insisted it had little jurisdiction to sanction pedophile priests around the globe, saying it was for local law enforcement to do so. But officials conceded that it needs to do more, given the scale of the problem and the role the Holy See plays in the international community."
