LOUISVILLE — A federal appeals court has ruled that part a class-action sex abuse lawsuit against the Vatican can proceed.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said on Monday that three men may pursue their claim that top church officials should have warned the public or local authorities of known or suspected sexual abuse of children by priests in the Archdiocese of Louisville.
The ruling upholds a similar decision by U.S. District Judge John Heyburn II of Louisville in May 2007.
The ruling also upholds Heyburn’s decision to dismiss claims that the Holy See was negligent in failing to provide safe care to the children entrusted to the clergy.
Since its a case related to children, the decisions should be vaery fair & honest.
