[Desdemona]

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.

I want to know your source for this because the last two cases in my archdiocese, one of which WAS true pedophilia, were made public less than a week after the archbishop was contacted. Both men were fast-tracked to laicization and both are in prison. One case, the victim was actually a teenage girl, was last year. The source, please, because the actual cases defy your statement.
