23. UN slams Vatican for 'efforts to cover up' pedophile priests in sex abuse scandal

The Vatican faced blistering criticism from a United Nations committee Thursday over allegations it protected pedophile priests at the expense of victims in what constituted a worldwide sex abuse scandal.

It was the first time representatives of the Holy See were questioned in public on cases of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy around the world.

The U.N. committee's main human rights investigator, Sara Oviedo, led the most intense grilling the Holy See has received on the issue, according to a report by The Associated Press.

Given the "zero tolerance" policy of the Vatican, she asked, why were there "efforts to cover up and obscure these types of cases?"

"Many of the priests have been convicted in courts and either imprisoned and/or fined."

I'll call bullshit on that statement unless you have something to present as evidence... It sure looks like they are doing a cover-up to pretty much everyone else.
