Pope Lawsuit 2011 / The Pope Has Been Indicted In The International Criminal Court, google it as well.

Mar 8, 2011 ... Criminal charges were filed against Pope Benedict XVI at the International World Court last week by two lawyers from the Pope's home state of Bavaria, have submitted a 16,500-word document indicting the Pope for various crimes against humanity.

Wednesday the Irish Times broke this potentially explosive story, detailing charges initiated against the Pope for crimes against humanity.

The charges were submitted to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court at the Hague, Dr Luis Moreno Ocampo. The charges allege that Pope Benedict preserved and directed an institution responsible for the coercion, extortion and subjugation of its members.

Specific charges include endangering members health by forbidding the use of condoms, as well as enabling and promoting the sexual abuse of children by clergy.

Pope Benedict is charged with the "establishment and maintenance of a worldwide system of cover-up of the sexual crimes committed by Catholic priests and their preferential treatment, which aids and abets ever new crimes.” The allegation goes on:

Dr Joseph Ratzinger, as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of his church and as Pope, has up to the present day systematically covered up the sexual abuse of children and youths and protected the perpetrators, thereby aiding and abetting further sexual violence toward young people.

It remains to be seen whether or not the International Criminal Court will address the charges.

---snip--Under the same facts and circumstances, can this be any different merely because it
concerns an organization that acts in the same way not only toward a few, but worldwide,
calling itself the “Roman Catholic Church” and constantly referring to religious
freedom, while setting “sect commissioners” onto those of different faith? It is not
different, but people have simply become accustomed to it. However, since July 1, 2002,
this inurement is no longer admissible. On this day, the statute for the International
Criminal Court came into effect, making crimes against humanity a punishable offense.
If a coercive sect of the kind described above were widespread in present-day Africa and
its members were forbidden the use of condoms under threat of severe punishment,
transmission of the HIV-AIDS virus and the deaths caused by this would be attributed
to the sect leaders, and charges would be brought against them. Can this be any different
simply because the coercive sect calls itself a “church” and its head claims to be
infallible?
If, in a worldwide coercive sect, hundreds of thousands of children were sexually abused
and the crimes covered up and prosecution called off at the behest of the sect leader, this
criminal organization and its leader would be put on trial. Can this be any different
merely because this organization calls itself a “church” and the command to be silent
about the crimes does not come from a mafia boss, but is pronounced by the pope? It is
no different, but it is simply centuries of becoming inured to a pedophile priesthood and
the power of its high priests. Since the statutory offense of crimes against humanity
exists, this “looking the other way” is no longer admissible.
In the following, charges are brought against three crimes committed against humanity,
for which Dr. Joseph Ratzinger, as former cardinal and present-day pope, is criminally
liable:

1. the preservation and leadership of a worldwide totalitarian regime of coercion, which
subjugates its members with terrifying and health-endangering threats,
4
2. the adherence to a fatal forbiddance of the use of condoms, even when the danger of
HIV-AIDS infection exists, and
3. the establishment and maintenance of a worldwide system of cover-up of the sexual
crimes committed by Catholic priests and their preferential treatment, which aids and
abets ever new crimes.[//]

----snip--Thus, the fact remains that, as a rule, clerical sex criminals merely face proceedings
according to canon law, which puts child abuse in the same category of
criminal offenses as “host desecration” or breaching the confessional secret or
holding an unauthorized celebration of mass. In all these cases, it is foreseen in
number B3 of said “Guide” that “In cases where the accused priest has admitted
to his crimes and has accepted to live a life of prayer and penance, the CDF
authorizes the local bishop to issue a decree prohibiting or restricting the public
ministry of such a priest. … Administrative recourse to the CDF is possible
against such decrees.” (See: http://www.vatican.va/resources/resources_
guide-CDF-procedures_en.html)
What then happens has already been described: Dismissals are rescinded and
priests are reinstalled in office. Robertson therefore correctly states in summary
that the Vatican works with a “parallel, para-statal jurisdiction,” which forgives
“sins that host states punish as crimes.” In reference to the “ratlines” that the
Vatican made available to Nazi criminals for making their escape to South
37
America, he writes: “… but the real ‘ratline’ that it has been offering is an escape
route for child sex abusers – not so much as a ‘get out of gaol free’ card, as a
freedom never to be at risk of gaol. Through a mixture of arrogance, negligence
and recklessness borne of belief in its state immunity and its overweening desire
to be a political actor on the world stage, the Pope and his army of cardinals,
nuncios, archbishops and officials have run a church in which children have
been suffering widespread and systematic abuse.” (Robertson, op.cit., p. 166)
2.5 A crime against humanity
According to Art. 7(1)(g) (of the ICC Statute) included therein are “rape, sexual
slavery … or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity”
[“individual acts”], provided that they are “committed as part of a widespread
or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of
the attack [‘multiple commission of acts’].”
2.5.1 As presented above, child abuse often took place in the form of rape.
Insofar as other variations of sexual abuse of children by priests are involved,
they are, in any case, to be attributed to the definitional elements of “any other
form of sexual violence of comparable gravity.” The superior force of the priest,
based on his authority on the one hand, and the young age of the victim on the
other, makes it equal to the term “violence,” even when it does not involve “vis
absoluta” (absolute violence). The victim, a child who looks up to the priest as a
man of God, is, when it has been placed in a home from which it cannot flee, and
for all practical purposes, defenselessly at his mercy, round the clock.
2.5.2 Concerning the “gravity” of violence, one should bear in mind that sexual
abuse of children and youth by a priest, no matter whether committed with
compulsive or absolute violence, leads to the gravest impairment of the mental
and physical health of the victims. They are often severely traumatized for years
and decades and seriously impaired in the development of their personality for
their whole life. Sexual abuse of children is a kind of soul murder. At the same
time, it is an “attack on human dignity or grave humiliation” in the words of the
38
explanatory memorandum of the International Criminal Court. (cf. also
Robertson, op.cit., p. 137 f; http://www.preventgenocide.org/law/icc/statute/
part-a.htm#2).
The abuse is also especially infamous because it is committed by members of an
institution that bases itself on Jesus of Nazareth, who, as is known, said: “Let the
children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom
of God.” (Luke 18:16) This creates a very special trust, within which children
were sexually abused.
2.5.3 As extensively described above, the sexual abuse of children took place not
only in individual cases, but also in a large number of countries over decades,
committed on thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, of victims. Thus,
these attacks were “widespread” in the meaning of the penal provision.
This alone would already be sufficient to have to assume a “multiple commission
of acts” in the meaning of Art. 7 of the ICC Statute. The attacks, however,
also occurred “systematically.” According to more recent jurisdiction, no
plan or political element is necessary for this. (cf. Werle, Völkerstrafrecht [Principles
of International Criminal Law], 2. Ed., in reference to Yugoslavia Criminal
Court from Feb. 22, 2001 [Kuranac et.al., TC, para. 429]). Child abuse was
committed by many priests at the same time through ever recurring abusive acts
in certain church facilities on the same or on varying victims and under the
protection of a systematic cover-up and preferential treatment of the perpetrators
by the Vatican.

Great finally A CHANCE OF some justice, OR AT LEAST  Exposure ( The article mentions forbidding condom use, even for the purpose of preventing HIV-AIDS infection. (Between married couple yet, if one is infected, and in Africa, no exceptions, that is a crime!)

The article also mentions the creation of a world-wide conspiracy to cover up the sexual abuse of minors.) Betty

Well, the three Illuminati city states; Washington d.c., City of London and Vatican all busy on Friday. The flag in Washington's District of Columbia has 3 red stars, each symbolizing a city state within the three city empire. The three city empire consists of Washington D.C., London, and Vatican City. London is the corporate center of the three city states and controls the world economically. Washington's District of Columbia city state is in charge of the military, and the Vatican offers spiritual guidance. The constitution of the district of Columbia operates under a tyrannical roman law known as lex fori, which in no way resembles the U.S. constitution. When congress passed the act of 1871, it created a separate corporate government for the District of Columbia. This allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the constitution. [//] Well, things don't always go right, or appear as they look, Betty
