There are three hierarchies in the jurisdiction of law:
* Papal Law - Highest form of law
* Private International Law
* Criminal Courts

Let that sink in, and watch how this case unfolds. The fact that this is being reported at all is a bad sign for his strategy, but invoking papal jurisdiction is not a small thing.

Yup. I am tempted to do an op on my childhood priest under the guise of researching this case :P Because the Catholic Church in my hometown continued to abduct and shuffle babies of single mothers 10 years after children gained personhood in Quebec well into the 70s. In Spain it lasted until around 1995.
