The article speaks for itself, the Pope is dodging all responsibility for the actions of priests and bishops.

It makes me wonder what the relationship is between the church and its minions? Pope sets the rules, hires and fires and yet they are not employees. Bishops report to the Vatican and swear allegance to the Pope. They can hardly think without papal approval.

Maybe the courts should agree that they are not employees and state that they are ambassadors of the Pope. This Vatican expects us to believe that there is no command decision made in Rome. I doubt there is a judge here who believes that.

I'll be watching this courtroom drama closely.
