Hundreds Were Abused In Boys’ Choir Directed By Pope Benedict’s Brother: Report

“At least 547 young members of the Regensburger Domspatzen boys choir in Germany were subjected to physical and in some instances sexual abuse over a period of 60 years, a new report says. … Among those singled out for criticism in the report was Georg Ratzinger, elder brother of retired Pope Benedict XVI … [who] was head of the choir from 1964 to 1994 and denies any knowledge of what went on. It was ‘never discussed’ while he ran the choir, he has said.”
