This is part of the reason why they wanted the Vatigans status upgraded to "independent state". It was a way of forstalling integration into the modern world and its banking systems in return for mumbling some magic over Mussolini and the fascists. The court should argue that the suit was filed on Ratzinger before he was Pope, and that the US constitution does not recognise religious title as setting anyone apart from anyone else. The case will still get thrown out- no-one likes to upset a jesus freak (or twenty million) anymore, no matter what denomination.
