...“What has happened in the church is no different from what is happening in society as a whole,” Cardinal Walter Brandmüller said. “The real scandal is that the Catholic church hasn’t distinguished itself from the rest of society.”
A study commissioned by the German Bishops Conference and published last year found that more than 3,600 children were sexually abused by Catholic clergy in Germany between 1946 and 2014.
But Cardinal Brandmüller claimed that only a “vanishingly small number” of clergy had committed abuses. He said the real problem was homosexuality and claimed it is “statistically proven” that there is a link between homosexuality and abuse.
Society “forgets or covers up the fact that 80 per cent of cases of sexual assault in the church involved male youths not children,” he told Germany’s DPA news agency in an interview a few days ahead of his 90th birthday....
If you read the linked article, you'll note that the MSM distorts Brandmueller's comments. Compare the direct quotes to the first-graf editorial. Brandmueller did NOT say 'the Church is not responsible....'; he said that the problem is largely homosexual.
He SHOULD have said that Bishops who ordain homosexuals should be defrocked. But he didn't.
