Catholics Faith In Shock as Pope Benedict xvi Admits to the sin's he committed

Retired Pope Asks Forgiveness Over Handling of Abuse Cases



But Benedict, responding to a report that accused him of mishandling at least four cases of sexual abuse by priests when he was an archbishop in Germany, denied any wrongdoing.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI



ROME — Responding to a report that he had mishandled four cases involving the sexual abuse of minors while he was an archbishop in Germany decades ago, retired Pope Benedict XVI acknowledged on Tuesday that “abuses and errors” had taken place under his watch, and asked for forgiveness, although he denied any misconduct.

“I have had great responsibilities in the Catholic Church,” Benedict said in a written response to the findings in the report commissioned by the Roman Catholic Church in Munich. “All the greater is my pain for the abuses and the errors that occurred in those different places during the time of my mandate,” he said in the response made public by the Vatican. “Each individual case of sexual abuse is appalling and irreparable.”

The report, and the accusations by investigators that Benedict had misled them, sent shocks through a Roman Catholic Church that has for a quarter century been devastated by revelations of sexual abuse of minors in its ranks. But the allegations related to Benedict’s time in Munich reached the very top of the church hierarchy, and they came not long after a separate report commissioned by the Vatican itself cast a shadow over Benedict’s predecessor, John Paul II, for failing to root out abusers in his church.

Benedict, whose backers point out he did much as pope to throw abusers out of the church, has sought to put himself in a better light. But critics have found his answers more legalistic than pastoral and short of what many victims of abuse and their advocates long to hear from the former head of the church.

On Tuesday, Benedict reviewed again that he had met with many maltreatment casualties during his eight-year papacy and over numerous biblical outings. He had, he said, "seen at direct the impacts of a most heinous issue."

Benedict, 94, likewise communicated resentment that the Munich law office that directed the examination had blamed him for being under legitimate in his underlying responses, which he had given in 82 composed pages.

The legal advisors had openly exhibited in a news gathering that the pontiff had taken part in a gathering about the exchange of an oppressive minister to his see for treatment, however he had asserted not to have joined in. The error, Benedict demanded in the new reaction, was an innocent mix-up that arose out of the altering system of his response.

"To me it demonstrated profoundly frightful that this oversight was utilized to give occasion to feel qualms about my honesty, and even to mark me a liar," Benedict said.

That guarded tone likewise went through an investigation join the letter by four legitimate specialists who had helped the resigned pope. They composed that the report "contains no proof for a claim of wrongdoing or connivance in any concealment" with respect to Benedict.

The report was appointed by the German archdiocese that researched how the congregation had dealt with instances of sexual maltreatment somewhere in the range of 1945 and 2019. Benedict, at the time Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was diocese supervisor of Munich and Freising from 1977 to 1982.

The report said something like 497 survivors of misuse had been distinguished over the 74-year time span it analyzed, and observed that Benedict had misused four cases during his almost five years as ecclesiastical overseer. Benedict's legitimate specialists said in their examination that the agents had not shown that Benedict knew about the criminal history of any of the four ministers being referred to.

The law office had recently communicated question regarding that attestation.

Days after the report was given, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, Benedict's own secretary, conceded Benedict was at the gathering about moving the oppressive cleric, yet Benedict has kept up with he didn't have any idea why the minister was being moved to his diocese, just that he wanted treatment.
