12. Now I haven't read too much up on this, but...

seems to me that it is obvious that the Vatican City, as a recognized sovereign state by the US, is immune from prosecution.
However, the Holy See, the seat of the Roman Catholic Church, is an entirely different entity.

I wonder if the suit can be brought against the Holy See/RCC in general. The Pope is both the spiritual head of the RCC and the political Head of State of Vatican City. Can he be sued in his capacity of leader of the RCC, and not as Head of State of Vatican City?
