	Ireland: Diplomatic Tensions with Vatican Grow By Douglas Dalby New York Times September 5, 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/06/world/europe/06briefs-ireland.html?_r=2 The diplomatic rift between the Irish government and the Vatican deepened Monday after Ireland accused the Holy See of “missing the point” in a weekend statement defending its conduct in the sexual abuse scandals involving priests. The Irish foreign minister, Eamon Gilmore, left, said the government was holding firm to its claims that the Vatican had attempted to frustrate an inquiry into abuse in the Diocese of Cloyne as recently as three years ago. The Vatican, in a strongly worded report on Saturday, said there was “no evidence” to support such an accusation.
