Campaign In Britain For Arrest of Pope Benedict

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The London Telegraph reported Sunday on a campaign by well-known atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens to ask the Crown Prosecution Service to arrest Pope Benedict XVI on criminal charges under international law when he visits London on September 16-19. Hitchens and Dawkins are conferring with human rights lawyers on what charges can be brought against the Pope because of his alleged role-- when he was head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith-- in delaying action against an American priest who had molested two boys. Lawyers argue that the Pope will not be able to claim diplomatic immunity because the Vatican should not be treated as a state under international law. [Thanks to Bob Ritter for the lead.]
