GERMANY -- Pope Benedict XVI's brother yesterday admitted he had hit choir boys involved in the German catholic church abuse scandal.

Retired priest Father Georg Ratzinger, 87, was head of the male choir at the centre of the claims in the early 60s.
He said: "I would often give clips around the ear even though my conscience was later troubled for doing so. I ask for forgiveness."
"I knew the rector was violent and beat the boys."
But Father Georg denied he had ever done so. He taught at Regensberger Domspatzen, Bavaria from 1964-1994.
