German Catholics to investigate abuse charges (AP)

March 10th, 2010

The spokesman of the diocese Regensburg Clemens Neck is seen in front of a painting showing Pope John Paul II in Regensburg, southern Germany, on Wednesday, March 10, 2010. The Roman Catholic diocese of Regensburg in southern Germany said it appointed an independent investigator to examine the allegations of physical and sexual abuse that have engulfed the prestigious Regensburger Domspatzen boys choir, which was led by the Rev. Georg Ratzinger, the pope's older brother, from 1964 until 1994. So far, the sexual abuse allegations predate Ratzinger's term. (AP Photo/Jens Meyer)AP - Catholic authorities in Germany announced two major abuse investigations Wednesday — one into the renowned choir once led by Pope Benedict XVI’s brother and another more general look into what everyone, including the pope, knew about the sexual and physical abuse of students.
