You know what's just like communist dictatorships?
It's when the police remind the Roman Catholic Church that, horror of horrors, the law applies to them too.
Who would have thought that churches don't, in fact, have diplomatic immunity?
I mean, it's one thing to say that they obey the rule of law, and they allowed their Archbishop to throw himself under a bus, what right to the police think they have to go and actually investigate further allegations? Surely the word of the Holy Church of Rome should be legally sufficient?
