Fr. Roberto Regoli says Benedict will still be remembered positively for the actions he took to combat the Church’s abuse crisis throughout his pontificate.
“This image that exists in the media... does not coincide with the reputation he has in the cultural sphere,” explains public opinion expert, Prof. Norberto González Gaitano.
A report accuses him of failing to act in four cases of abuse during his time as archbishop of Munich.
The allegations come from a report commissioned by the archdiocese of Munich and Freising, which analyzes how abuses were handled between 1945 and 2019.
