St. Petersburg, Fla. ? Two men sued the Vatican and three Roman Catholic dioceses Wednesday, accusing them of covering up sexual abuse at a Catholic boarding school in Florida and an Oregon monastery.

The lawsuits claim the Holy See, the archdioceses of Portland, Ore., and Chicago, the Diocese of St. Petersburg and two religious orders hid two abusive clergymen by moving them across state and national lines. One plaintiff was Rick Gomez, 28, of Florida, who said he was abused in 1987; the other plaintiff was not identified.

A phone message left for the Vatican ambassador to the United States was not returned. No one has successfully sued the Vatican in a sex abuse lawsuit.

Last month, the same attorney, Jeffrey Anderson, filed a lawsuit accusing all U.S. bishops and three dioceses of conspiring to cover up sexual abuse by former Bishop Anthony O’Connell of West Palm Beach.
