It’s a damning video. In particular they point out then-Cardinal Ratzinger/now-Pope Benedict either new a convicted pedophile had been reassigned to work with children in his diocese or he should have known. They also point out that in Germany the RCC (and I suppose other churches) get money from taxes, and the fewer registered RC’s the less for the RCC, and a lot of RC’s are quitting the RCC.
But in general I hope B’net will stick with print journalism here so we don’t have to spend so much time listening and transcribing, or trying to.
