Vatican puts ex-Dominican envoy under house arrest

VATICAN CITY (AP) ? The Vatican says it has put its former ambassador to the Dominican Republic under house arrest following allegations he sexually abused young boys in the Caribbean country.


Josef Wesolowski has already been defrocked after the Vatican's canon law court found him guilty in June and imposed its toughest penalty: laicization, or returning to life as a layman. On Tuesday, the Vatican's separate criminal court opened a preliminary hearing into his case and ordered him placed under house arrest.

A Vatican statement said Wesolwski presented medical documentation detailing health concerns that prevented a more restrictive type of detention. The Vatican has a few small detention rooms inside its police barracks.

Wesolowski could face jail time if found guilty.

The Pope Can Make No Mistake About It. They should just be able to ask god, no? He knows all and they have a direct line.

The Pope does not claim to communicate interactively with God. After all, he is the Archbishop of Rome, and lacks the powers of the Mormon President, who was elected to be a prophet.

The Pope is infallible only in issues of dogma. He is capable of burning the soup, putting his shirt on wrongside out, using the improper fork on his salad, and trying pederast priests improperly.

diddle liddle boys and get defrocked (as in dress snatched off).

Sounds like the prelude to "an eye for an eye" to me.

Sad but true. He works in mysterious ways. Free will, hands off, repent and wait till later, etc.

The judiciary process sees to be taking a rather long time.

De frocked means he is no longer authorized to dress as a priest, with those long, black sexy robes.
