Madrid, Spain, Apr 17, 2013 / 15:04 pm
Spanish civil rights groups have launched a campaign calling for the removal of a video game based on clerical sex abuse, in which a Pope figure coordinates abuse and tries to avoid being caught by reporters.
The website HazteOir denounced the company RoundGames.com for its March 14 release of "Vatican Quest," an arcade game that "mocks the underage victims of sexual abuse and brings the trend of slamming the Church and Catholics into the video game business."
The video game is being distributed in Spain by Minijuegos.
"Vatican Quest belittles the tragedy of the sexual abuse of minors and mocks its victims" through "a for-profit game for computers and smartphones," HazteOir said.
