WikiLeaks: Vatican refused requests from Murphy Commission

The latest documents published by the Wikileaks website suggest the Vatican refused to allow its officials to testify before the Murphy investigation into clerical abuse of children.

The leaked cable suggests that many in the Vatican were offended by requests for information from the Commission, which they saw as an affront to Vatican sovereignty.

In the end the cable suggests the Irish Government was forced to grant Vatican officials immunity from testifying to the Murphy commission.
