While German authorities are seeking to break the Catholic
Church's "wall of silence" on child molestation, Catholic
reformers turn to Pope Benedict XVI for answers.
Sexual abuse of child pupils at several German Catholic
schools, including a monastic boarding school in Bavaria,
have sparked a nationwide scandal with more than 150 ex-
students coming forward with allegations of suffering abuse
during the 1970s and 80s.
In a German radio interview On Monday, Justice Minister
Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger criticized a 2001 Vatican
directive requiring even the most serious abuse cases to be
first investigated internally, saying it had erected a "wall
of silence," around the issue.
Recent media revelation about the sexual and physical abuse
of former choirboys of the famous Regensburger Domspatzen
choir, which was once headed by the Pope's brother Georg
Ratzinger, has turned the spotlight to Rome.
The sexual abuse dates back to the 1960s. Ratzinger, who led
the choir from mid-60s to mid-90s, has denied any knowledge
of the abuse, and has promised to testify, should a case be
built around the abuses.
The choir's director and composer has unveiled terrible
details of how as a choirboy, he saw the boarding school's
director at the time "come into the dormitory at night and
pick out two, three of us boys to take back to his
apartment."
A spokesman for the "We are the Church" movement, Christian
Weisner, urged the Pope to publicly state what he knew about
the abuse by clerics in the Bavarian city of Regensburg
during his 1977-1982 term as bishop there.
"From 1977 to 1981 Joseph Ratzinger was the bishop of Munich
and Freising, so he must answer the question about what he
knew then and what he did about it," Weisner told DAPD news
agency.
He said that the senior officials in the church leadership
could not have been unaware of the abuse, calling on
authorities to take action.
The Pandora's box opened in January, when the student's
complaints of abuse at a prestigious Berlin college in the
70s-80s were made public for the first time.
Decades of silence have rendered most of the cases
untouchable due to a lapsed statute of limitations. A
majority of individuals involved in the scandal can no
longer be prosecuted.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
