11-25-08—US Court Allows Abuse Case v. Vatican. The appeals court found that the Vatican may be responsible for policies or directives as they were carried out in the US, and may have affect how abuse complaints were handled. One of the central pieces of evidence in the case is a 1962 memo, issued by the Vatican and unearthed by reporters in 2003, which directs Catholic bishops to keep silent about claims of sex abuse. The document was approved by Pope John the23d. WSJ A4
