Careful editors should have asked a series of probing questions, and in every case the answer to those questions would have shown that the story had no &laquo;legs.&raquo;<\/p>\n<p>First to repeat the bare-bones version of the story: in November 1985, then-Cardinal Ratzinger signed a letter deferring a decision on the laicization of Father Stephen Kiesle, a California priest who had been accused of molesting boys.<\/p>\n<p>Now the key questions:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Was Cardinal Ratzinger responding to the complaints of priestly pedophilia? No. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which the future Pontiff headed, did not have jurisdiction for pedophile priests until 2001. The cardinal was weighing a request for laicization of Kiesle.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Had Oakland&#8217;s Bishop John Cummins sought to laicize Kiesle as punishment for his misconduct? No. Kiesle himself asked to be released from the priesthood. The bishop supported the wayward priest&#8217;s application.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Was the request for laicization denied? No. Eventually, in 1987, the Vatican approved Kiesle&#8217;s dismissal from the priesthood.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Did Kiesle abuse children again before he was laicized? To the best of our knowledge, No. &#8230; &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There is a scandal here, indeed, but it\u2019s not the scandal you\u2019re reading about in the mass media. The scandal is the complete collapse of journalistic standards in the handling of this story.<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I g\u00e5r kunne vi i nesten alle norske nattaviser (jeg nevnte at til og med V\u00e5rt Land trykket den) se kardinal Ratzingers signatur p\u00e5 et brev, og en underlig, helt fri, oppdiktet og feilaktig forklaring p\u00e5 hva brevet handlet om.
