Wisconsin: Vatican Gets Notice of Suit
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Vatican has been served with court papers stemming from decades-old accusations of sexual abuse against a now-dead priest at a Milwaukee-area school for the deaf, the State Department says. In a news release Tuesday, the plaintiff’s lawyer, Jeff Anderson, said the lawsuit was filed through official channels. An adviser with the State Department confirmed that the Vatican received the documents last week. The suit was filed nearly a year ago in federal court. It claims Pope Benedict XVI and two other top Vatican officials knew about accusations of sexual abuse at the school and called off internal punishment of the accused priest.
