US man names Pope Benedict in Milwaukee abuse lawsuit
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8638798.stm

By Simon Cox
BBC News

A man who says he was the victim of an American paedophile priest is bringing a lawsuit against the Pope and the Vatican in a US federal court.

His lawyers want the Church to release any files it has on abuse cases involving priests.

The alleged victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, says he was abused by the late Father Lawrence Murphy.

Fr Murphy is accused of attacking up to 200 children during his 20 years at a school for deaf children in Milwaukee.
