Simple, Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict kept this secret. He protected pedophiles.
Fail.
Answer calls for detailed discussion. Did you not read the exam question? I used the word specifics.
Wiggle, wiggle wiggle.
Let me give you hand and get you started.
The cases occurred between the 1950s and 1970s. Archbishop Weakland, a man with a long history of strained relations and dissent from Church discipline writes to Cardinal Ratzinger about the matter 20 years later. Cardinal Ratzinger does not reply. Weakland writes again, this time to Bertone who advises disciplinary trial. Accused priest then apppeals to Ratzinger for clemency, professes repentance and pleads ill health and Bertone reverses position. Accused dies a short time after.
Please discuss, indicating how Pope protected pedophile and how anyone was harmed by his actions or lack thereof.
