I have been away from FR since the election because I have been behind the lines as a graduate student at the local Ivy League institution.
This week a gay Episcopalian classmate has been especially vocal with his theory that this film is the main reason for Pope Benedict’s resignation. I have not seen the film, and have no interest in doing so. I did an internet search and all I can find are confirming articles from places like HuffPost. The response threads devolve into scriptural disputes on why there should or should not have been a pope in the first place, and does he or does he not wear a funny hat.
What I am looking for is an unbiased account on Cardinal Ratzinger’s and then Pope Benedict XVI’s involvement in the scandal. If any of you could help me out, or point me to some a couple of useful articles, I would very much appreciate it.
