	Abuse Victims Can Sue Vatican, Court Rules By Jeff Strickler Star Tribune June 28, 2010 http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/faith/97313104.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUBP7hUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUHDYaGEP7eyckcUs The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for St. Paul lawyer Jeff Anderson to sue Pope Benedict on behalf of sex-abuse victims when it refused Monday to hear the Vatican's appeal of an Oregon lawsuit. Anderson, who specializes in filing abuse suits against the Roman Catholic Church, called the decision "the biggest breakthrough in the movement's history." ... Anderson predicted that now he can eventually depose Pope Benedict. "I won't start with him; I'm going to work my way up," he said. "But this ruling gives me the ability to depose anybody within the organization who has knowledge about the events."
