Irish Examiner view: Catholic cover-up

Pope implicated in failure to stop four clergymen accused of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church in Munich

Benedict XVI: Allowing him to retain the  title of  Pope Emeritus would dishonour the victims of clerical sex abuse.

IT is shocking but hardly surprising that an inquiry has found that former Pope Benedict XVI failed to stop four clergymen accused of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church in Munich. 

Pope Emeritus Benedict — formerly Cardinal Josef Ratzinger — was the archbishop of Munich from 1977 to 1982.
