"Not only are the victims not believed when they come forward (just read some of these skeptical comments) but we now understand that according to the Vatican rules and regulations and reiterated by Ratzinger in his job as Chief Inquisitor, a victim may not go public with his accusation against a priest until 10 years after he reaches the age of 18, under penalty of excommunication."

That is a lie.

No, that is not a lie. It is in black and white in Vatican correspondence.

But the RCC has always had a problem with the printed word, so Rome's lack of understanding here is no real surprise.
