The Vatican contends that it has already released thousands of documents, and that these show no connection to Rome.
Actually that particular FB source writes directly from the Vatican Information Service and Vatican Radio - sorry my bad on the headline here on the thread.
Why not just sue the president of the US, it happened in his country, or sue his own parents for having him… It’s absurd to sue an unrelated head of state for an unconnected crime that happened in another continent.
Because there is no where near as much money in that!How about doing the logical thing and suing the person or persons who committed the crimes, instead of the head of state? If it weren’t for their blatant anti-Catholic agenda, that’s what they’d be doing.
and money is the root of all evil.
Perhaps, but the Facebook message was wrong. The lawsuit was not filed yesterday. What happened yesterday was the Vatican’s response to the lawsuit which was filed in March. You might want to double check any news you read on Facebook.
Love of money, not money itself, money is an inanimate object and so is morally neutral, man’s attitude towards it is what is evil.
I think we can all agree that the lawyer is in it for the love of money. Bloody ambulance chasers.
I am always amused by the observation that lawyers are “in it for the money.” Most professionals are “in it for the money” as are most working people, whatever they may be doing. In these cases though, they usually didn’t have to chase an ambulance since in many cases they were not retained until decades after the injury had been inflicted.
I think the important distinction to make here is there are actually two different issues here. One was the suit filed in March. The other was the motion to depose Pope Benedict XVI himself. Please, the abuse happenned well before he was Pope - so what are they looking for. They want in to the Vatican records. Please - those records are closed for a reason and we must have faith.
These have no regard for the Church. they are doing something very evil here. they are trying to lead the world into believing that Church is nothing but just another business. they dont see the Church is a divine intitution stablished by Christ. they have no fear of God.How about doing the logical thing and suing the person or persons who committed the crimes, instead of the head of state? If it weren’t for their blatant anti-Catholic agenda, that’s what they’d be doing.
Obviously that’s not true. Members of other denominations, e.g. the Church of Christ, fear God, but do not see the Catholic Church as a divine institution established by Christ.
Actually, I think he stepped down as president and was arrested six months later. After authorities decided they couldn’t successfully prosecute him in his own country, they transferred him to the Hague where he could be tried for war crimes.
I believe so, and “war crimes,” “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” are considered a special kind of crime, that can be prosecuted where other crimes would not be allowed. This is just a civil suit so they do not have the force of criminal law nor these special crimes defined in international law to help them win this case.
Yes, after he stole the election there was a popular but essentially peaceful uprising, and the true election winner Vojislav Kostunica was installed as president. There was some legal wrangling, but Milosevich’s & Kostunica’s party which controlled the parliament was unwilling to change the constitution to allow extradition, so Slobo sat under house arrest for awhile, with his own loyal goons as security around his residence.
is it not what i just said?
