Munich Vicar General Reportedly Says He Was Forced to Take the Fall for Cardinal Ratzinger/National Catholic Reporter

Munich vicar general reportedly says he was forced to take the fall for Cardinal Ratzinger

"Vicar General Gerhard Gruber last month referred to the decision as a “serious mistake” and said he was solely responsible for the decision. After speaking once about his "mistake" to the Associated Press, Gruber disappeared from public view. I was in Munich at the time and tried to reach him several times, but always unsuccessfully....

But today we find Gruber in the news once again...

It is being reported that Gruber has said he took the fall only after coming under huge pressure from unnamed Catholic Church sources to take responsibility in order to “take the pope out of the firing line”..."
