This post is rather misleading - the issue being referenced is simply whether or not Cardinal Ratzinger, long before being pope, was present at a meeting 41 years ago, a meeting at which not much was decided, except to send a priest accused of abuse to therapy.
In hindsight we can lament that more strict measures were not taken, however there was rampant disobedience and lying among those who infiltrated the Church — just as there has been in virtually every other institution, not just religious but also secular.
