Pope dismayed by abuse scandal

2010-03-12 21:18
line

Vatican City - Germany's top bishop has informed Pope Benedict XVI about cases of clerical sex abuse in the pontiff's native Germany and said the pope encouraged him to pursue the truth and assist the victims.

Archbishop Robert Zollitsch said the pope was greatly dismayed and deeply moved as he was being briefed on the scandal during Friday's meeting at the Vatican.

At least 170 former students from Catholic schools in Germany have come forward recently with claims of physical and sexual abuse, including at an all-boys choir once led by the pope's brother.

Zollitsch also said he briefed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on measures implemented in Germany, and that the Vatican is considering a set of universal norms to deal with cases of clerical sex abuse.

Charles says... Hi Folks, Fred I see you still carry on about the supposed death of 6 million Jews, go into Google and have a look at Twentieth Century Atlas - Death Tolls, then go into YOUTUBE and watch Dr.Yuri Mattsev PhD. There is a strange thing that happened in 539BCE Cyrus the Great the King of Persia (Iran) released the nation of Israel from slavedom to return home and practice the religion. Now Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and the Looney Tunes want to go to war with them, if they want to fine back with no US and Nato support. Folks I end off with something I was told 42 years ago, If only the truth were known the world would be a different place. Best wishes to all, Charles. Read the article...
