Pope Benedict and the Pedophilia Scandal... Interesting Timing

The Black Biretta:

Is it not ironic that it took 30 years for someone to charge then Archbishop Ratzinger with 'negligence' at worst? Nothing said in 1980 when the alleged incident occurred. Nothing said when he became Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. And silence when he became Successor of Saint Peter and Pope Benedict five years ago. No, slanderous accusations come in 2010. Why? How about feeding frenzy in the press? How about anti-Catholic schemes to discredit the Pontiff? How about clandestine plots from enemies of the Church or opponents to B16's different style of papacy? In any event, the dirt won't stick. But have we not seen similar character assassination tries leveled against P12 and even JP2?
