High Hardball Thrown at B-16's & Muller's Heads

Think Bill and Hill are nasty?  They could take lessons.

At least 547 young members of the Regensburger Domspatzen boys choir in Germany were subjected to physical and in some instances sexual abuse over a period of 60 years, a new report says.

The report accuses 49 members of the Catholic Church of carrying out the abuse between 1945 and the early 1990s....

Ummmmnnnnhhhh....

Among those singled out for criticism in the report was former choirmaster Georg Ratzinger, elder brother of retired Pope Benedict XVI. 

Mr Weber said that while Mr [sic] Ratzinger, now 93, had no knowledge of sexual abuse, "one can accuse him of looking the other way and failing to intervene".

He was head of the choir from 1964 to 1994 and denies any knowledge of what went on. It was "never discussed" while he ran the choir, he has said. 

He has in the past admitted to occasionally slapping boys but insisted he never beat them until they were "black and blue"....

It's "FATHER" Ratzinger.

Think timing.  Just a few days ago, B-16 spoke of 'the foundering' Catholic church.  Then this report is issued.  Hmmmmm.  And 'one can accuse' Fr. Ratzinger of a lot of things, but one must PROVE those things, no?

No.  This thing was all in the timing--placing the name "Ratzinger" at front and center in a mud-slinging spree.  No charges will be filed, no one will be convicted, most of the perps (if any) are dead....

And there's another target, almost as prominent, a man who does not toe Pp Francis' line entirely:

...It also cited criticism by victims of the Regensburg diocese’s initial efforts to investigate past abuse. It said that the bishop at the time the allegations surfaced, Gerhard Ludwig Müller, bears “clear responsibility for the strategic, organizational and communicative weaknesses” of those efforts.
Müller, later made a cardinal, became the head of the Vatican’s doctrine office in 2012. Pope Francis recently did not renew his mandate at the beginning of this month...
Get the picture?

  1. Let me see if even a thick skulled person as myself understands....

    Then the message was "Abdicate peters chair or your brother is going down."

    Now the message is "We warned you"

  2. I think you have the second part right.

    Sadly, I don't think that the whole story on the first part is out, yet.

    Still, I often wonder why Benedict abdicated in the first place.

  4. Everyone has secrets. The timing of the publication gives us an idea that secrets will be exposed if you don't play along with Godfather Francis.
