A US appeals court has ruled that the Vatican can be sued for the sex abuse committed by US priests.This is just the start of it. The ruling was called "very incremental" and noted it does not establish whether Vatican policy contributed to the allegations of thousands of incidents abuse by Roman Catholic clergy.
"We're miles away from liability," the report said.
The ruling was hailed as a potential breakthrough by abuse victims. Over 100,000 victims of clergy sexual abuse have come forward in the United States alone.
