ROME—A United Nations panel Wednesday praised the Vatican's commitment to change practices that resulted in clergy being able to sexually abuse children. It rejected, however, the Holy See's main argument in its own defense: that it has limited jurisdiction to tackle such exploitation.
The rejection is a blow to the Catholic Church's attempts to deal with a number of abuse scandals that have driven away many of the faithful.
