Pope Francis' proposed Vatican tribunal to judge bishops who covered up for pedophile priests is going nowhere fast.
Despite fresh focus from the Oscar-winning film "Spotlight" on how
Catholic bishops protected priests who raped children, Francis' most
significant sex abuse-related initiative to date has stalled. It's a
victim of a premature roll-out, unresolved legal and administrative
questions and resistance both inside and outside of the Holy See, church
officials and canon lawyers say.
