German bishop surprised at number of abuse cases (AP)

March 16th, 2010

Wolfgang Blaschka is seen during an interview in Munich, southern Germany, on Thursday, March 11, 2010. Wolfgang Blaschka, who was a student at the Domspatzen Preschool in Pielenhofen, talked with journalists of the Associated Press. Wolfgang Blaschka told The Associated Press that while he was a student at the Etterzhausen school just outside Regensburg, corporate punishment was the rule, not the exception. German educators sharply criticized Roman Catholic church officials on Thursday for their handling of a spiraling child abuse scandal - comments that came a day before the country's highest bishop was to meet Pope Benedict XVI in Rome. The criticism came as more victims of the alleged abuse stepped forward, including a one-time member of the famed all-boys choir that was led by the Rev. Georg Ratzinger, the pope's brother, from 1964-1994.  (AP Photo/Jens Meyer)AP - The Roman Catholic bishops in Pope Benedict XVI’s native Bavaria sought Tuesday to deal with a sexual abuse scandal whose ever-widening scope has left church leaders baffled.
