With a document trail a mile long, it looks like the current Pope was part of a cover-up of sex abuse back in the 1970's and 80's. The New York Times broke the story and has documents here showing the accusations.
The scandal involves Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy. Murphy admitted he sexually abused boys at his boarding school for 22 years. For more than 30 years the victims tried to get justice, but documents show that the Catholic church did nothing. At the center of that controversy was Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) who the case was referred to. His office did not prosecute the matter and it was closed when Father Murphy eventually died.
This is huge. I suspect this might be the case that brings down the Pope and irreparably damages the Catholic Church.
