| PH, that is merely a lawyer claim in an attempt to bring in the global church and wealth of perhaps the Vatican into play for punitive damages.
There is literally no way this current Pope as a Cardinal was involved in conspiracy with any part of the American Church because he had a very different and specific job that would have kept him away from such matters.
He was Pope John Paul the Second's personal assistant for well over twenty years and chief theological scholar and writer of most all speeches and articles of the Vatican and Church.
The regional stuff was handled by the local Cardinals PH, like Cardinal Law in was it Boston?
I do agree with rmnunez above that this a tactic by the attorney, but I think it's to go after a bigger bank account not a mere stunt. Some of these churches went into bankruptcy over these court cases with all these ridiculously high awards have emptied most of the bank accounts the plaintiffs would like to draw from. |
