The Vatican and 12 year olds?

If someone can post a single recent example of a 12 year old "legally" having sex or getting married in the Vatican, I'll start getting concerned.

Otherwise, I think this is all just a bit of hysteria over an archaic legal heritage.

"(CNN) -- The parents of an 8-year-old Liberian girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by four boys in July were arrested Friday on child abuse charges, according to Arizona police.
The parents said they felt they had been shamed by their child and blamed her for being victimized. As a result, the girl was taken from her home and placed in state custody."

This type of honor killing/rape behavior is creeping into the Ivory Coast area.

What does an 8 year old getting assaulted against her consent have to do with a 12 year old being able to legally consent?

It's not the act, it's the public image. It seems like the Vatican approves of the behavior if there is a law.
What happened if there was a pandemic and there were only 12 year old girls left... then they would be at risk.

Young girls all over the world are exploited.
Very sad practice that needs to stop.

Assault isn't exploitation. The 8 yr old you cite was the victim of a brutal and violent attack. If you're trying to prove a point, you've made a grave error by even bringing that case into the argument.

The parents of the 8 year old let her fend for herself and were shamed by her, so it's more than assault. Seems that children, particularly little girls are being discarded when they should be protected. Especially by the Vatican! The problem is big in China, and there are selective abortions in Southeast Asia frequently. When gender imbalance happens there is eventual chaos.

Hmmm.
It IS very oddly around the age that most young boys are targeted for sexual relationships by these monsters. It makes you wonder if it's not more organized than it appears. Remember how that Catholic day-care center in Ireland fascilitated the abuse of 100's of children? They almost had it down to a science and a business. That nutty dude David Icke claims that these human-incarnated demons prey on the sexual energy of the young and helpless, as it invigorates them and gives them power. Maybe it's all part of the Vatican health care plan for demons.
