Pope Benedict ‘complicit in child sex abuse scandals’, say victims’ groups
The Internet Post
For the legions of people whose childhoods and adult lives were wrecked by sexual and physical abuse at the hands of the Roman Catholic clergy, Pope Benedict XVI is an unloved pontiff who will not be missed.
Victims of the epidemic of sex- and child-abuse scandals that erupted under Benedict’s papacy reacted bitterly to his resignation, either charging the outgoing pontiff with being directly complicit in a criminal conspiracy to cover up the thousands of paedophilia cases that have come to light over the past three years, or with failing to stand up to reactionary elements in the church resolved to keep the scandals under wraps.
From Benedict’s native Germany to the USA, abuse victims and campaigners criticised an eight-year papacy that struggled to cope with the flood of disclosures of crimes and abuse rampant for decades within the church. Matthias Katsch, of the NetworkB group of German clerical-abuse victims, said: “The rule of law is more important than a new pope.”

During her 1846 apparition at LaSalette France, the Blessed Virgin foretold that the infiltration of the Catholic religious orders by men “addicted to sin” would signal that the “end of ends” is imminent.
There have always been scandals in the Church — due to the weakness of human nature. But the Church’s teachings remain true.
Pope Benedict should not be blamed for the malfeasance of a small number of priests, the majority of which became priests with the specific intent of scandalizing the Church from within, just as the Blessed Virgin warned they would.
