| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1118750 04/19/2011 11:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Vatican State The Vatican does not have its own separate criminal code. Instead, in matters of criminal law, as per Article 3 of the "Law of the Source of Law" (one of the six fundamental laws adopted upon ratification of the Lateran Treaty in 1929) the Vatican State generally uses current Italian national law, as well as regional and municipal laws for Rome, as long as they do not conflict with ecclesiastical law or laws specifically promulgated by Pope for the Vatican.[41] As a result, the age of consent is the same as that of Italy. Before January 1, 2009, the adoption by the Vatican of changes made by Italy in its laws was automatic. After this date, the Vatican adoption of changes in Italian law is no longer automatic but comes into effect only after a review.[42] However, as Italy adopted its present age of consent before January 1, 2009, this change in Vatican policy does not affect the age of consent in Vatican City, which remains the same as that of Italy. The claim is sometimes made that "In the Vatican State, there is an equal age of consent set at 12 years of age",[43] but this is incorrect. In 1929, when the Lateran Treaty was signed, the age of consent in Italy was 12,[44], and this was indeed adopted by the Vatican. However, as stated above, the rise in the Italian age of consent applied automatically to the Vatican City. Italy The age of consent in Italy is 14 years, with a close-in-age exception that allows those aged 13 to engage in sexual activity with partners who are less than 3 years older. The age of consent rises to 16 if one of the participants has some kind of influence on the other (e.g. teacher, tutor, adoptive parent).[9] Not knowing the fact that the victim is underage is not a legal defence.[10] It is also illegal to perform sexual acts in the presence of a minor aged less than 14 with the intent of allowing the minor to witness the acts, even if they do not take an active part.[11] |

| misterx User ID: 1286998 04/20/2011 01:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Correction, the age of reason was (still is?) seven or eight: Age of reason (canon law) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search See also: Age of accountability, Coming of age, Arguments against infant baptism, and Original sin In the Roman Catholic Church, the age of reason, also called the age of discretion, is the age at which children become capable of moral responsibility. On completion of the seventh year a minor is presumed to have the use of reason[1], but mental retardation or insanity could prevent some individuals from ever reaching it. Children under the age of reason and the mentally handicapped are sometimes called "innocents" because of their inability to commit sins: even if their actions are objectively sinful, they sometimes lack capacity for subjective guilt.

They don't want to be paying off lawsuits later to the families of the kids they've seduced. A 12 year old with no hair on his body and smooth skin and a nice round ass can go far at the vatican. The question is which of the old perverts can get it up long enough to deflower his virgin ass? Or do they have their younger assistants do the deed while they watch and masturbate their flaccid organs? |
