Pope's involvement in Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God

Recently a documentary aired on HBO that suggested the role of then Cardinal John Ratzinger in the coverup of the deep rot of pedophilia in the Catholic Church. When I saw it I thought that it was hypocritical for the same person who indulged priest's pedophilia in the Church to have become the head of it.

If anyone else has seen it, it was startling to hear
that there was NO way that Ratzinger did not know.
Then the reality that he did nothing sinks in...

The news today, in the face of this recent documentary
going mainstream on cable, does not surprise me. He
may have been forced out by this development but it
also seems the best and only way for the Church to clear
the path for someone else to help heal the rot.
