This article discusses a priest from India who moved to Minnesota. He was accused of abusing two teenage girls during 2004 and 2005 and was warned by the cardinal of the diocese but no action was thoroughly taken. Then the cardinal sent a letter to the Vatican hoping officials there would take some action but nothing was done. Now the priest is head of a church education commission in India where he still has access to many children.
When documents of the abuse sprung up during a news conference in St. Paul, the court attorney's office decide to try and extradite the priest from his duties in India. The cardinal who sent the letters to Rome does not want to let this roll over since the priest seemed to run off to India.

they all need to be put in jail. i'm sure this isn't the first time the vatican has ignored abuse and it probably won't be the last. but it's the vatican so nothing will be done.
