Leaked US diplomatic cables say Vatican officials refused to co-operate with investigation into child abuse by priests. The Vatican refused to help an Irish investigation into child sex
abuse by Catholic priests because the requests were seen as "an affront
to Vatican sovereignty," leaked diplomatic cables have shown.
The documents, which were released to the UK's Guardian newspaper by the WikiLeaks website, reveal that the Catholic Church blocked its officials from testifying before an Irish commission because the request was not made through official channels.
