Benedict XVI and Brother Georg Ratzinger: WE KNOW NUTHINK! NUTHINK!
By Rev. Dan Vojir
Again with the sadistic pedopile priests! Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and his Brother Georg Ratzinger are in deep doo doo. No wonder he resigned in time!
::::::::
Reports of physical and sexual abuse in the choir, the Regensburger Domspatzen in Bavaria, first emerged in 2010 as part of a nationwide wave of revelations linking officials of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany to the mistreatment of children. But an internal report by the church identified only 72 cases of abuse in the Regensburg Diocese, most involving severe corporal punishment.
The Ratzingers don't know anything - except maybe where the bodies are buried/hidden. In an OpEdNews article - The Vatican's Fake Occupy Implodes: Documents Evoke A History Of Money Laundering, Sexual Terrorism, And Even ... Murder (5/27/12) Vatican documents exposed a host of crimes linked to the Vatican: all of which it is believed Benedict XVI knew about. These also included pedophile priest sexual abuse.
Last week, Ulrich Weber, a lawyer commissioned by the choir to look into accusations of beatings, torture and sexual abuse, presented his initial findings, based on more than 140 interviews, roughly half of them with victims, and an examination of archives. Mr. Weber estimated that from 1953 to 1992, every third student at a school attached to the choir suffered some kind of physical abuse. He said the mistreatment at institutions linked to the Domspatzen included at least 40 cases of sexual violence.
If true, the findings again raise the question of whether Benedict, the pope emeritus, who taught theology in Regensburg from 1969 to 1976, had any knowledge of the abusetaking place in the choir that his brother directed.
Did The Ratzingers Actually Participate?
There is no evidence to date that either Georg or Benedict participated in the "rituals" heaped upon the boys choir, but the association of the two at the same time with the boys choir raises serious concerns considering the extent of the abuse:
The abuse ranges from sexual assault and rape to food deprivation to the boys who were less cooperative."
The bulk of the abuse, which also included canings, forced gluttony and anal penetration with foreign objects, happened in the mid-1970s to boys being groomed for the world-famous Domspatzen boys choir of Regensberg's St. Peter's Cathedral when a certain Father Georg Ratzinger was the choir leader.
OK. The violence of Catholic schooling in as late as the 70's was almost the norm for boys in special schools. The author attended Chicago's premier boys college prep school (the decade before the Regensburg abuse) where Dominican priests would knock your block off whenever they saw fit. (NOTE: ironically it was the Jesuits - Francis' order - who had the most violent reputation). Sadism may not have been the order of the day, but "whipping boys into men" certainly was. After all, it was "tradition"!!
The price of "tradition"
To uphold the Regensburg Boys Choir (Domspazten) "tradition", boys had to give up their innocence in the worst ways.
Franz Wittenbrink, who came forward when the allegations of abuse first surfaced. ... told investigators that priests at the Regensburg boarding school engaged in what he described as "an elaborate system of sadistic punishments combined with sexual lust."
He said that he and several other boys were often "chosen" to be invited by the headmaster at the time to his personal apartment where they were plied with red wine and made to perform sex acts on the headmaster and on each other. "Everyone knew about it at the time," he said in 2010.
Everyone but the Ratzingers, apparently
The recent revelations of the extent of the sexual abuse at the Regensberg Catholic school trump original estimates that only a handful of young boys were abused. In 2010, just two years before Benedict retired, the Holy See insisted that "the abuse was limited." Investigators then put the number of credible complaints at around 70 cases, for which they offered a settlement sum of around $2,700.
$2700. Such a princely sum!
Playing the world for a fool
Let's get this straight:
- Up to 700 boys from 1976-1992 were either sexually assaulted or physically abused, part of it at a time when physical abuse was acceptable and lawful, even "ritualistic"
- Two brothers lived and taught in the same metropolitan area for years
- One of them stayed on as director of the very entity now reporting the abuse
- The other eventually rose to a position if such prominence that he was privy to knowledge of the minutest moral infraction
...And they saw or heard NOTHING.
It's a joke, people, a cruel and sadistic joke. But who's laughing?
