In an unprecedented move, Attorney Daniel Shea, of Huston Texas went to Rome this week in an attempt to move the prosecution of Joseph Ratzinger (in his individual capacity) forward.
The three boys, identified in court documents as John Does I, II and III, allege that a Colombian-born seminarian on assignment at St. Francis de Sales Church in Houston, Juan Carlos Patino-Arango, molested them during counseling sessions in the church in the mid-1990s.
Then-Cardinal Ratzinger, who headed the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith before becoming pope, was involved in a conspiracy to hide Patino-Arango’s crimes and to help him escape prosecution.
Attorney Shea at his press conference gave a slide presentation of 38 pages outlining the events surrounding the sexual abuse of children.
The slide presentation is now available in PowerPoint version.
