That has become the foundation of a main liberal argument; however it's moot as regards the US law on foreign heads of state, etc.
“That has become the foundation of a main liberal argument;”
The Vatican has been very liberal in their approach to child molesters, IMHO. As Monty Python said “nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition,” but essentially a response of there but for the grace of God go I is a little weak.
The Pope either has control or he doesn’t. Making foreign heads of state arguments brings him down to the level of a politician, unbecoming of a Prelate.
