A US Catholic newspaper has revealed that Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano asked his US counterpart Condoleezza Rice to intervene in a sex abuse law suit, during her visit to the Vatican last month.
TheAbuse Tracker (NCR) says Cardinal Sodano asked Dr Rice to intervene in a Kentucky law suit that is seeking to hold the Vatican financially responsible for the sexual abuse of minors.
Church sources told the paper that Rice was asked by Cardinal Angelo Sodano whether the United States government could stop a class-action lawsuit currently before a United States District Court in Louisville that seeks to hold the Vatican financially responsible for the sexual abuse of minors.
