Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, head of the German Bishops
Conference and one of Pope Francis’ closest advisers, is criticized for
negligent behavior regarding a case of sexual abuse by a priest of his
former diocese from 10 years ago.
A recent legal investigation follows past inquiries regarding accusations of sexual abuse by the former parish priest involving a 15-year-old boy in the Diocese of Trier. The first accusation surfaced in 2006 but was suspended because of statutory limitations. Subsequent lawsuits were filed in 2013 and 2015 against the priest, who has been retired since 2015.
