Gerhard Gruber, I don't believe you. (Main Forum)

Gerhard,

I accept that you would not tell a lie, but may I suggest you need a better spin doctor.

Better still, tell the plain, open truth.

Quote from the article:

"I assume all responsibility."

Archbishop Ratzinger's former deputy, Gerhard Gruber, stressed that the man who now heads the Catholic Church was not made aware of H's alleged abuse history.

Speaking to the Associated Press, he added: "You have to know that we had some 1,000 priests in the diocese at the time.

"The cardinal [Joseph Ratzinger] could not deal with everything, he had to rely on his vicar-general [deputy]."
