"As it admonished Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna and a man long considered a papal contender, the Vatican appeared caught on the defensive on two other fronts in the ongoing sex abuse scandal: It remained locked in a diplomatic tiff with Belgium over the brazen raid on church offices last week, during which police detained bishops and even opened a crypt in search of church abuse documents.

Yeah, but it is those moral Muslims that are the problem.

"Runoff looms in Polish presidential election" by Associated Press | June 21, 2010
WARSAW, Poland — A somber election season in Poland was prolonged by two weeks yesterday when a first round of voting apparently produced no immediate successor to Lech Kaczynski, the president killed more than two months ago in a plane crash.
Results show the interim president and Parliament speaker, Bronislaw Komorowski, is leading Kaczynski’s identical twin, Jaroslaw Kaczynski. But Komorowski appeared to fall short of the 50 percent needed for outright victory.
The two leaders, who topped eight other candidates, must now go head to head in a runoff vote on July 4.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski addressing supporters last night, made a rare reference to the plane crash that killed his brother, noting that the election was “the result of a huge catastrophe, a huge misfortune, a huge tragedy.’’
As partial official results were reported several hours later, it appeared that Komorowski’s lead was narrower than exit polls had indicated.
Based on 71 percent of voting stations reporting, Komorowski had 40.1 percent of the votes and Kaczynski had 37.4 percent, the State Electoral Commission said.
Full official results are expected later today.
The center-left candidate, Grzegorz Napieralski, was in third place, and the final outcome will hinge to a large degree on where his votes go. Partial official results showed that Napieralski has nearly 14 percent support.
Komorowski, 58, and Kaczynski, 61, are former anticommunist activists, but they will both be scrambling in coming days to win over supporters of Napieralski’s Democratic Left Alliance, heir to the once all-powerful communist party.
Napieralski said he will travel and meet with his supporters before deciding whom to endorse.
Sociologist Ireneusz Krzeminski said Napieralski’s electorate tends to be liberal on social issues — supporting women’s rights, gay rights, and opposing the strong role played by the church in society. That puts it closer to Komorowski’s Civic Platform, which appeals to secular and urban voters with its probusiness ethos, even though it pays little attention to social issues.
Although many of the duties are symbolic, the president can veto laws and, as commander in chief, has influence over foreign military missions.
Lech Kaczynski and his wife were among 96 people killed when their plane crashed while trying to land in heavy fog in Smolensk, Russia, on April 10.

What a haunted place, huh?
