A Vatican
diplomat in Washington has been recalled to Rome after the US state
department said the priest may have violated laws related to child sex
abuse images.
The US state department notified the Holy See last month of a possible violation of laws. American prosecutors said they wanted the Vatican to voluntarily lift the official’s diplomatic immunity so that he could face charges, according to several reports, but the Vatican refused. The request was made on 21 August.
