The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuses is a 2010 book written by Geoffrey Robertson, which examines the Roman Catholic Church's responses to allegations of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
The book focuses on the Vatican's failure to hold those responsible, accountable, and provides an in-depth analysis of the legal, moral, and ethical implications of the issue.
Robertson argues that the Vatican should be held to the same standards of accountability and justice as any other state or institution.[2][3][4][5]
Reception
The Case of the Pope was reviewed by The Economist , who described it as book which offers readers "a better understanding of the serious problems that can arise when two legal systems, one secular and the other religious, operate in parallel".[6]
The New Statesman said, "Geoffrey Robertson's scalding j'accuse against priestly paedophile perpetrators, the Vatican and the current Pope will likely infuriate most devout Catholics..."[7]
The Monthly called The Case of the Pope a "fiery" argument that "the Vatican should be treated as a kind of 'rogue state' until it stops using statehood and the ancient rules of canon law to protect paedophile priests".[8]
