Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
has admitted to having made a false statement in his statement for the abuse report of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.
Munich - Pope Benedict XVI.
Contrary to what was initially claimed, I took part in a meeting in 1980 as Archbishop of Munich and Freising at which a priest was discussed who had repeatedly been conspicuous for the sexual abuse of children.
This was announced by Benedikt's private secretary Georg Gänswein on Monday in a press release published by the
Vatican News
portal and the Tagespost Foundation.
That priest was later reinstated as a pastor in Bavaria.
