This deserves to be read and passd on:
Writing in the Guardian, Rory Carrol says that ‘father Seromba was one of dozens of clerics and nuns accused of atrocities that fled to Europe after a Tutsi force took power in Rwanda following the slaughter. With the Vatican’s help he moved to Italy, ostensibly to study, and under an assumed name, Father Anastasio Sumba Bura, served parish priest in a village near Florence.’<3>

So, why is that soon after the mass-killings in Rwanda in 1994, the Vatican strove to spirit away these clerics who were allegedly involved in one of the worst genocides of the last century, and assisted them in finding refuge in parishes in countries like France, Italy, Belgium and Spain, to name a few.

The case of Seromba is typical of the way the Roman Catholic Church has always endeavoured to help spirit away suspected ‘genocidaire’ clerics, and provide them with refuge in parishes in a number of European countries. Once discovered by Interpol, it is alleged that the Vatican did everything possible to thwart his extradition to the ICTR in Arusha, Tanzania, by pressurising the Italian government not to hand him over.

1. Perhaps the government should
put the catholic church on the terrorist organization list and then arrest every parish that sends money to the vatican.
I am really getting sick of reading all this garbage that is coming out about the vatican and the catholic church.
The pope wants to hide behind the shield of sovereign rights of a state-nation so let the Us treat it as a foreign terrorist nation.
