Did the Vatican investigate the charges against the priest?  Or, does it not matter any more if a civilian court dismissed the charges?   Should this man still be a priest given the charges against him?  That is a question only the church can answer.  Apparently, if the civil court won't try him, neither will the Vatican.  Makes it clear who is really in charge when it comes to Catholic justice and the Vatican surely takes second place.  

And they complain about a secularism.
