Doe v. Holy See : ウィキペディア英語版 | Doe v. Holy See
''John V. Doe v. Holy See'' is a lawsuit involving the sovereign immunity status of the Holy See in relation to the Catholic sexual abuse scandal in the United States. The threshold question of law in the case is whether the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act allows the Holy See, a sovereign state in international law, to be sued for acts of local Catholic clergy. U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mosman has ruled that the Holy See cannot be held liable because there was no relationship of employment in the case. Jeff Anderson, attorney for the plaintiff, said he would appeal the decision.〔(Federal judge rules Vatican is not the employer of priests )〕 The case was finally dismissed in August 2013.〔(Appeals court dismisses sexual abuse lawsuit against Vatican )〕 ==Case history== The lawsuit was brought in federal court in Oregon; plaintiff John Doe alleged abuse by Father Andrew Ronan OSM in Portland, Oregon. This allegedly took place c. 1965 after Ronan was moved from Ireland after admitting abuse there.〔(''John V. Doe v. Holy See'' court opinion ) at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, at 2550.〕 Doe alleged, inter alia, "that the Archdiocese and the Order were vicariously liable for Ronan’s abuse of Doe, and that … the Holy See was vicariously liable for Ronan’s abuse of Doe and for the negligent actions of the Archdiocese, the Order, and the Chicago Bishop, and that the Holy See was itself negligent in its retention and supervision of Ronan and in failing to warn of his propensities."〔9th Cir. op., at 2552-53〕 The Holy See moved to dismiss the claims against it, invoking its immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. When the District Court rejected that motion, the defendant took an interlocutory appeal. A divided ninth circuit panel affirmed the district court, and in June 2010, the Supreme Court of the United States denied certiorari,〔. As the court has stated many times, however, denial of certiorari expresses no views on the merits. See, e.g. Ohio ex rel. Eaton v. Price 360 U.S. 246 n.1 (1959) (per curiam); Maryland v. Baltimore Radio Show, 338 U.S. 912, 917-19 (1950) (Frankfurter, J.).〕 sending the case back to the District Court for further proceedings.
