LINK Benedict apologizes for clerical abuse but admits no personal responsibility - The Washington Post
ROME — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on Tuesday expressed his “profound shame” to the victims of clerical abuse, and he said he was pained by “errors” that occurred in various places across his career in the church. But he stopped short of acknowledging any specific personal responsibility after a church-commissioned German report accused him of mishandling four cases during his time running the archdiocese of Munich between 1977 and 1982.

Apologising for just 7 ,SEVEN, years of Abusing Children how ever so magnanimous of him, HEY Benedict Arnold of German Altar boys, what about the hundreds, if not THOUSANDS your Church has abused BEFORE them, do they not count perhaps?

Going on for as long as pedophiles knew they had unquestioned access to children. And the cruelty of physical beatings and mental torture in boarding schools and orphanages.
That sounds like apologizing for rat turds in the salad but claiming you never saw rats in the kitchen.
Which has to be bullshit.

Children were abused, and this man prefered to hide the fact than act to give justice to abused children.
Now that the truth has been revealed he states that he has made 'errors'.
No, you howling wanksplat. Deliberately and systematically covering up multiple cases of sexual child abuse is not an error. It is a deliberate, considered and corrupt act of evil.

Somebody must have a guilty conscience about his failures.

I doubt if it would " ex .P.O.P.E the Benedict Arnold of German Altar boys" since he WAS God's ELECTED Representative on Earth therefore he is , in the minds of most Catholics, as PERFECT as their God is.
I still wonder how many Altar boys were left as HIS victim in his wake as he sailed to the top spot as Protector of Paedophile Employees.
