Since 16 August 2016, many reports have been
published in Germany indicating that Cardinal Reinhard Marx — Archbishop
of Munich, head of the German Bishops’ Conference, and one of the close
collaborators of Pope Francis — may be guilty of negligent conduct
concerning a sexual abuse case in the Diocese of Trier (of which he was
then-bishop) ten years ago. The reports have been so numerous that Katholisch.de, the official website of the German Bishops, had to publish an article on the matter to clarify known details.
As the German magazine FOCUS reports on 16 August, Cardinal Marx had knowledge of the abuse case of one of his priests in Trier, but did not take further steps to remove him from his office.
