My uncle was one of the lawyers for the arch diocese of Baltimore. I'm dying to ask him what he thinks about all this but unfortunately he's actually dead so I'd really have to die to ask him. I can argue that people halfway across the world should not be held individually responsible for the actions of those working under them, but as an organization they should be held accountable. That being said, if you rape someone at work, does your work get sued? In most cases I don't think so although it's not out of the realm of possibility. Mostly I think you just get to go rot in jail yourself. No amount of money takes away rape anyway and that's really what we are talking about here isn't it? I mean, the Vatican could only be held financially responsible. If they were really good people over there they wouldn't mind giving out money for this, they wouldn't mind doing anything they could for these victims. It's not like they aren't rich. I like that it's politics though, interesting stuff.
