Plaintiff's attorney William McMurry told The Associated Press the case is ending because of an earlier ruling that the Vatican is a foreign nation and can't be held liable for policies the suit contended shielded abusive priests. He said most U.S. victims have reached settlements with a diocese and can't go after the Vatican now.
McMurry said a months-long search for victims who haven't settled and could pursue the lawsuit failed to find any willing to come forward.
