OK, fine, but like the article I quoted from above states, the Pope was the guy directly in charge of "investigating" (which in practice meant white washing) the abuse charges earlier in his career. So there is plenty to personally implicate the Pope. Imagine any other organization, like a government or business ordered their employees across the world not to contact the authorities at risk of being fired when an abuse case came up. That would be considered criminal in most normal cases, I have no idea why it should be treated differently for a religion.
Why they elevated this guy to Pope is very troubling when you consider that. And they show no sign of changing at all. Not sure if you have heard of Bernard Law, he's a Boston priest who was implicated years ago with ignoring dozens of abuse cases in his diocese. Where is he now, in jail? Nope, he's hanging out at the Vatican with Ratzinger.
- In fact, he was one of the people who voted Ratzinger in as Popeukit
