The news just got a whole lot more interesting with the news that there is a sex abuse scandal growing in Germany. More to the point... the Archdiocese of Munich, during the 1980s shuffled an abusing priest around... Same as in other diocese's around the world... except the bishop at the time was Josef Ratzinger... aka Pope Benedict.

Of course, the Vicar General at the time (second in command), is claiming full responsibility and saying that Ratzinger knew nothing of what was going on... we have to wonder. And what does it mean for the Church and the Vatican, that the sex abuse scandal is no longer just an American thing... or an Irish thing... or an English speaking thing...
Like I said, the news should get a whole lot interesting in the next little while...
