Future Pope Tried to Get Fuller Inquiry in Abuse Case

EXCERPTS:

There are indications that Benedict had a lower tolerance for sexual misconduct by elite clergy members than other top Vatican officials, including his boss, John Paul.

“He cannot expect others to be transparent, like the Irish bishops he appeals to in his letter, and not be transparent himself,”...

The results of a Vatican investigation at Cardinal Groër’s abbey in 1998 have never been released by the Vatican.

For the rest of his life, until his death seven years ago, Cardinal Groër never confessed or faced trial.
