Not Going Anywhere

I told you.


They're defiant and circling the wagons in the face of legal challenges, not (yet) from an ambitious and enterprising little prosecutor, but from a civil suit on behalf of a group of victims.

I sent this to The GC. His response:

...this is shaping-up to be the greatest threat to the power of the Vatican since Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the church in Wittenberg.

Even the Italian reunification, which resulted in the Vatican losing most of the territory it controlled in central Italy and was a major lose of temporal power, led to an increase in Papal power, as the Pope convened the First Vatican Council shortly thereafter and one of the major acts of that council was to confirm Papal infallibility as Church dogma.


I wonder if the Kentucky suit will embolden others around the world.

It Should be, but it won't be.
The age of Accountability seems to have passed.
