Bad news! The New York Times has apparently 'regrouped' its forces and resources and has launched Chapter 2 of its bringing-down-Benedict soap opera of character assassination, with a lengthy hodgepodge of their usual lies, half-truths, distortions and misrepresentations, based this time on their belated and patently erroneous claim that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (and its predecessor dicastery) had been charged since 1922 with adjudicating sexual offenses by priests but Cardinal Ratzinger did not lift a finger to exercise such authority until the Vatican was forced by the US scandals to give him explicit orders to do so!...
What the writers ignore is the very obvious fact that the local bishop has always had the authority and discretion to discipline an erring priest to the point of having him defrocked by the Vatican, but nonetheless, to inveetigate him and bring charges if appropriate before a Church tribunal and report any criminal act to the police
. They did not need the CDF to do that. Only, in the case of the sex abuse offenses, few of them did that - at least not before the start of the decade after the scandal broke wide open in the US.

Not worth reading, and certainly not, at this point, even fisking! EEWWWWWW...
The good news is that it has not come up with anything new that is even 'apparently damaging' in what is nothing more than a diabolical rehash of all the falsehoods about the role of the CDF most flagrantly exemplified by the BBC documentary of 2006 which concocted the most outrageous of lies into a toxic brew. But the Times is counting that this 'new' story will reignite the public brouhaha they successfully created back in March-April. We wish them the worst of everything! (IMHO, I think readers have had enough of these endlessly and not always ingeniously recycled malicious vacuities - and will say, Ho-hum, as they did with AP's more recent attempt at the same!)
