| FaRmLaNd said: An interesting book to read is "The Case of the Pope" which looks at it from a legal perspective. It deals with how the Catholic church has attempted to keep it quiet, how confession and instant forgiveness has created a culture that can nurture priests that bugger boys and whether the Vatican is actually a state when any of the nominal international law standards that deal with the definition of a state are applied to it (the answer seems to be no, although the realpolitik is of course a yes since if every government thinks its a state then it is). |
If the Catholic Church covers up and supports criminal activity, doesn't that make it a criminal organisation?
