When Pope Benedict left the leadership position of the Catholic Church, after a rather short term, many speculated the Catholic Church realized that having a man who looks sort of scary—with a German accent, who may or may not have Nazi ties, and a lot of child sexual abuse skeletons in his closet, wasn’t the best idea. But maybe he was just a little too old for the torrid schedule of a Pope? Maybe it’s a family issue.
At least 231 children who sang in a boys’ choir led for 30 years by the brother of former Pope Benedict XVI were abused over a period of almost four decades, a lawyer investigating reports of wrongdoing said Friday. The lawyer, Ulrich Weber, who was commissioned by the choir to look into accusations of beatings, torture or sexual abuse, said he thought that the actual abuse was even more widespread.
