Lawyer Wants No Diplomatic Immunity For Pope

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday on a press conference by Texas lawyer, Daniel Shea, who is representing three boys in a suit against Pope Benedict XVI for allegedly covering up the sexual abuse of children by a seminarian. Shea urged President Bush to abstain from confirming the Pope's diplomatic immunity. Shea said he would challenge the constitutionality of U.S. diplomatic recognition of the Vatican if the Pope is given diplomatic immunity in the case.
