*Should the head of an organization be responsible?

*no real opinion here, just some thoughts and questions for the mind - perhaps another day, I'll actually try to flesh out an idea, a stance, and an opinion  

With the Pope remaining at the Vatican for several reasons, the issue of security and immunity jumps out. Many have attempted to have the Pope prosecuted for sex-crimes, which priests have done all over the world - most notably in the U.S. (From Brussels)

As the leader of the Catholic Church, should the pope be responsible? Albeit the Vatican has its own disciplinary and punitive measures for priests who act out of order, should the international community hold the Pope responsible for the actions of these priests or perhaps, for the lack of disciplinary action by the Vatican against these abusive priests?

Is the leader responsible? Did the Vatican take any punitive action against these priests or were they simply re-located? Any disciplinary action against the pope would set a precedent for other cases. Although the LDS church is not its own sovereign nation, it holds a similar hierarchy and regularly excommunicates and holds disciplinary action against, LGBT members, academics, and others. If the president of the Mormon church overlooked the crimes of bishops and other local leaders should the president be held accountable for these actions or even for the lack of action against these members?

Similarly we can say this about the President of the United States or any other country for that matter. If the president does not take action against those underneath him in governing positions and have conducted crimes, is the president accountable for not taking the disciplinary measures that are held so dear to the concepts of justice?

This raises the question that Sen. Warren has been asking Wall Street in America. Are these people and organizations not only too big to fail but too big for trial? If the world maintained consistency in applying the Nuremberg laws, many presidents would be labeled as war criminals. However, there is a  cowardice with loyalty and the preservation of reputation/status. When does Justice overcome loyalty or duty?
