I also just saw this article:

London, England, Sep 21, 2011 / 05:49 pm (CNA).- Campaigners demanding that the International Criminal Court prosecute Pope Benedict XVI over clerical sex abuse are being accused of undermining human rights by a leading expert on religion and the law.

“It’s simply a publicity stunt,” said U.K.-based attorney Neil Addison in a Sept. 21 interview with CNA. He added, “what these groups are alleging - even at its very worst - does not fall within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.”



“The problem is that they’ve had apologies, they’ve had damages, and I’m now not sure what more they want. I don’t think they do either,” Addison said.

Even “the Pope being in a prison cell” would probably fail to satisfy the campaign groups, he suggested.
