The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a 2006 ruling from Portland-based US District Judge Michael Mosman that "the Holy See is not immune from suit" in a case involving a priest with "dangerous proclivities."
The appeals court, however, narrowed the scope of Mosman's decision, sending it back to the lower court. The panel ruled the lawsuit against the Vatican could not proceed because the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act "preserves immunity for discretionary acts."
