The Vatican Is To Blame

That's the argument made in a filing with the International Criminal Court (ICC) relative to priests' abuse of their parishioners. The 'case' was filed by two American groups active in that particular arena. The groups want the ICC to prosecute Pope Benedict XVI and three top Vatican officials for crimes against humanity for what they described as abetting and covering up the rape and sexual assault of children by priests. 

Experts feel that it is unlikely that the ICC will prosecute the case. But it is probably true that the petitioners do not expect prosecution. This is part of the PR war that is endemic to most battles today.
