Vatican Report

Just to catch up on the more recent outrages from the Vatican, there was an AP article printed in the SF Chronicle on the 9th of July with the headline

Vatican to punish abusers of mentally disabled

What a radical breakthrough!  After centuries of letting the abusers get away with it, now they'll be punished.  Oh, but if you look at the article you'll notice that this new crackdown is merely a plan and presumably has not yet been implemented.  Furthermore, you can comb the article from one end to the other looking in vain for any mention of turning the abusers over to secular authorities.  No, it's best to keep this sort of thing within the Holy Chuch.  Wouldn't want to upset outsiders.

You can read the full text of the article here.
