    They’re the leader of Vatican City, a sovereign nation, and the head of the Catholic Church, an organization full of child rapists. Seems to me they could start up with that any old time.

      So they can prosecute anyone in the Vatican?

      How will any criminal escape the long arm of the Catholic law?

      The Pope can excommunicate any member of the Catholic church, but just because someone is Catholic doesn’t give the church legal jurisdiction over them in other sovereign countries.
