MUNICH — The priest at the center of a German sexual-abuse scandal that has embroiled Pope Benedict XVI continued working with children for more than 30 years, even though a German court convicted him of molesting boys.
The priest, Peter Hullermann, who had previously been identified only by the first letter of his last name, was suspended from his duties only on Monday. That was three days after the church acknowledged that the pope, then Archbishop Joseph Ratzinger, had responded to early accusations of molestation by allowing the priest to move to Munich for therapy in 1980.
Pope Benedict, then as Archbishop Ratzinger, was in charge of the Vatican's review of sexual abuses for the last 20+ years. It was his job to withhold the truth. Infallible, my ass.
What a great honor for a guy who can lie and withhold information that leads to abuse of children: you get to be Pope.
