The key point will be what sort of PENANCE Pope Benedict XVI assigns Castro for a Papal Absolution of all sins.

If the penitent fails to complete the penance assigned by the priest, then the absolution is of no merit and is null and void.

For example, a murderer goes to confession and seeks absolution from the priest for the sin of murder. What penance should the priest assign? Answer: Turn yourself in to the civil authorities and accept the civil consequences for the crime of murder.
