Some harsh words from the Vatican regarding priests who are guilty of child sex abuse. The Vatican prosecutor says perpetrators will suffer, "damnation in hell that will be worse than the death penalty." His words came during a "make amends" prayer service at St. Peter's Basilica Saturday.

The Vatican is fighting several lawsuits, including one from Wisconsin, that accuse the church of keeping sex abuse cases secret and covering them up for decades.

The lawsuit in Wisconsin involves a cover-up of abuse allegations against Father Lawrence Murphy. He's accused of molesting more than two hundred boys at a Milwaukee school for the deaf between 1950 and 1975. Murphy died in 1998.
