Yawn.

Everytime I hear a story like this, later I hear the other side, and the Pope is cleared.

But the antiCatholics will keep trying.

In 1980 as archbishop of Munich and Freising, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger unwittingly approved housing for a priest accused of child abuse. A former deputy later said he made the decision

Cardinal Ratzinger failed to act over complaints during the 1990s about US priest Lawrence Murphy, who is thought to have abused some 200 deaf boys in Wisconsin

Cardinal Ratzinger allowed a case against Arizona priest Michael Teta to languish at the Vatican for more than a decade despite repeated pleas for his removal

Cardinal Ratzinger resisted the defrocking of California priest Stephen Kiesle, a convicted offender, saying "good of the universal Church" needed to be considered

This court, although it regards the arguments presented in favour of removal in this case to be of grave significance, nevertheless deems it necessary to consider the good of the Universal Church together with that of the petitioner, and it is also unable to make light of the detriment that granting the dispensation can provoke with the community of Christ's faithful, particularly regarding the young age of the petitioner. - Ratzinger

lol. The pope is cleared?

Yeah, like Clinton was cleared.

If jurisprudence still means anything, Ratzinger will end up behind bars for not only obstructing justice, but for aiding and abetting criminals, one of whom is his brother.

But the antiCatholics will keep trying.

No one here is "antiCatholic." Many, however, thank God, are anti-homosexuality, anti-pederasty; anti-idolatry and anti-totalitarianism.

The pope is cleared by whom?

Other Catholics?

Some letter that someone happened to *find* somewhere?
