A church-commissioned German investigation today (January 20, 2022) accused Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI of "wrongdoing" in his handling of sexual abuse cases during his time running the archdiocese of Munich between 1977 and 1982, according to the Washington Post website.
The law firm that carried out the investigation said Benedict's claims to have no direct knowledge of the cases were not credible.
The firm said Benedict, known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at the time of the cases, could be accused of wrongdoing in four of them, including one in which he knowingly accepted a priest into his archdiocese even after the cleric had been convicted of sexual abuse in a criminal court.
