Just in time for the picking of a new pope, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided Monday that Holocaust survivors can pursue the Vatican Bank for profiting from a Nazi puppet regime.

What are your thoughts on this and do you think that the Vatican really had a 'hand' in gaining something from the atrocities of WWII?

While I empathies with the victims of the holocaust, I don't think this is the right battle ground to fight. One of the lines really stuck out to me:

| Plaintiffs allege the defendants "profited from the genocidal acts of the Croatian Ustasha political regime," which was installed by the Nazis during World War II, according to the opinion. |
If it is only an opinion, then how can this lawsuit have a leg to stand on? I truly hope the evidence in this case is more concrete than this. Because if it is not, then this case is a waste of time and money in the courts.

"Opinion" is just a legal term used to refer to what the judge(s) write up as an explanation for their decision. It doesn't mean "opinion" in the traditional sense of the word.
