As with other cases, like in the United States, Liberal Prelates use their positions of trust to protect clerical homosexuals, even putting them in contact with children again after they'd been credibly accused for abusing them in the first place.
Let's not forget either how this political in-fighter stabbed his colleague, Bishop Mixa, in the back by helping liberals in Augsburg to circulate information and set Bishop Mixa up for a fall back in Rome. Unfortunately, Pope Benedict is sending Bishop Mixa to the minor leagues, but we predict he will be back.
But I Hope the Suffering I Experienced Was Not Pointless
Linz (kath.net)
N.N. was abused many times forty years ago by a priest of the Catholic Church -- Now he has made a complaint in Rome against the perpetrator and against Archbishop Zollitsch -- N.N. in an exclusive Kath.Net exclusive interview about his tragic story.
Kath.Net: You were repeatedly abused 40 years ago by Father G., a Catholic priest, and have also already spoken to the media. What has happened since these media reports?
N. N.: After my revelations in 2006 as 2010 nothing I know of happened. Neither the Archdiocese of Freiburg nor the Mehrerau Abbey have initiated criminal or law procedures yet against the priest's Office, so he continue had dealing with children and young people. This was an intolerable state for me so I had to ask the offender to resign in March of this year. Although I several times asked them to do so, Freiburg and Mehrerau has searched previously not actively other victims and witnesses, how it has acted for example, the Diocese of Basel immediately after becoming aware thereof. Basel has responded exemplarily, and even researched victims found who'll come forward.
Fribourg has also failed to understand the life cycle of the author of these attacks. Tedious, I had to take the facts together. Many questions remained concerning the Diocese of Freiburg and the Mehrerau Abbey of the supposedly sequestered offender or to the old Abbot Kassian Lauterer remained unanswered until today with the interview (interrogation) of the offender . Abbot Anselm claimed that he had made a means message with regard to the offender, he won't give details. Now he announces forced to conduct internal investigations, the results announced but before conclusion of the investigation: Neither Abbot Kassian Lauterer nor Archbishop Zollitsch are guilty in this affair.
Kath.NET: The culprit in 2006 confirmed your accusations. How important was it for you?
N.N.: The former abbot Kassian has forwarded a letter from me to the offender and this has given me the fact in writing at the 9.12.2006. That was very important for me and for that I must be grateful to the offender, I had replaced the incidents for forty years. I wanted to a personal discussion with the offender. In the following call to a phone appointment with Father G. had credibility and he tried to make excuses till I could no longer take his excuses. This man is ill and you would have to save yourself much foer both him and me, if those responsible 1968, 1971, 1987, 1992, 2006, or even 2010 -- had acted differently also as regards their fiduciary duty.
Kath.Net: in connection with the abuse you Mehrerau Abbey and the Archdiocese of Freiburg you're accusing now that they had known of the abusing offenders and still employed them. You have made even a criminal complaint against Archbishop Zollitsch. Why?
N.N.: The criminal charges against Archbishop Zollitsch were several reasons. On one I got the message to the March, 19 2010 from the Diocese of Chur, the offender was sequestered and anonymous. It remains open whether he will withdraw the procedure or the Church keeps him hidden, perhaps to to prevent the full extent being known. In various interviews and press releases and websites, Freiburg made several wrong, misleading and defamatory statements. Requests for correction came to Freiburg nor as a call to the reply - it was the only course remaining to me. Therefore I have filed criminal charges of defamation against the persons responsible for the Archdiocese.
Because Freiburg on the other hand even played a questionable role in the restoration of the offender in 1987 and tried to hide facts, remained even idle, contains incorrect information in Birnau, I have complaint also suspected of complicity to the abuse or aid / omission mentioned against the risk of the limitation period. The proceeding also interrupts the statute of limitations.
Unfortunately, alleged statements made by me have been spread then in many press releases, which I never made. Only when I was confronted this, have I given more content of the complaint so I will be quoted correctly. I've been accused of sensationalism by the Archdiocese. Although Freiburg knew the exact contents of the complaint, they responded to the press allegations instead. [This is par for the course and reminds us of the interference and stonewalling engaged in by liberal prelates in the United States like Cardinal Mahony, Cardinal Bernardin and Archbishop Weakland]
"A reproach is including specifically": thus Dr. Zollitsch took 1987–1992 gross negligence in purchase, a priest known as pädokriminell comes in his diocese with the churches in its responsibility children in contact. (..) Dr. Zollitsch has helped thus taken and actively a gross risk of the parish in order to affect victims and witnesses by the mere unbehelligte presence of the offender. "
Freiburg and Mehrerau tried only to withdraw to the Christian religious law of non-responsibility of the offender in Birnau even though they know that my allegations of responsibility for the parishes Nußdorf and Deisendorf are addressed. We victims (myself are now three more known by name) and their families were not members of Mehrerau Abbey, but the Archdiocese of Freiburg as inhabitants if Nußdorf.
Kath.Net: the Archdiocese of Freiburg you accuse also, it has deliberately spread untruth relating to your case. What are you accusing the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of here?
N.N: Freiburg represents itself in untrue statements, presenting misleading facts and manipulating facts in attempts to discredit me as a victim. Fribourg has deceived me in 2006 in a telephone conversation, that they would examine the facts, instead it was only "the Abbot agreed." Fribourg has provided false information regarding the stay and the activities of the offender in the Archdiocese of Freiburg. It is said there was the debate with the offender, I call for such a debate for several weeks – in vain. It is said you have offered me help. Until today I have offered little concrete help despite getting demands. I only made an offer to call. Contrary to what was otherwise said I was ready to ask but then experienced a loss of legal assistance or mediator for the interview. Just because it has not been granted me, there was no debate - Freiburg and the Abbot of Mehrerau which can afford the luxury of a crisis management agency. [He doesn't answer the question, but these points are all too familiar.]
Kath.Net: Abbot Anselm of Mehrerau Abbey has defended Archbishop Zollitsch after the revelation of the incident, explaining Zollitsch to have known nothing and had not made use of the paedophile priest. What do you say to that?
N.N.: This accusation occurs as mentioned by me. As Archbishop Zollitsch knew the true content of the complaint (legal), he could have said simply that he is not accused of me. Instead he tried such opinions to create a false impression and distract from the actual - also moral - responsibility. The opinion by Abbot Anselm relates solely to Birnau and the Teutonic Knights legal jurisdiction. Abbot Anselm ignores the actual charge, responsible for the pastoral care and the parishes Nußdorf and Deisendorf.
Kath.Net: before a few days have now in Rome filed suit against the abuse priests but also against Archbishop Zollitsch and Abbot Anselm of Mehrerau Abbey. What is the aim of this action or what would you do?
N.N: I was assuming that such a procedure had been initiated in 2006 by the authorities. Because this was not done I had requested such a procedure at the official of the Archdiocese of Freiburg middle of April 2010, and got the message that I could not initiate such a procedure and that the Abbot and the current place of residence of the priest should contact my competent Bishop. Which was not possible because the offender is seculded and his place of residence was not named for me by the Church. Therefore I have filed a complaint to the Vatican.
My allegations against the Archdiocese of Freiburg and Archbishop Zollitsch are shown as also in the criminal complaint. Also Zollitsch has violated as Archbishop in 2006 in my view since until today he has repeatedly and continued against his own guidelines adopted in 2002. He is no longer credible because he does not follow what he promises in his speeches and is damaging to the reputation of the Church.
Abbot Kassian I accuse further offset the priest despite knowledge of pederastic criminals' predicate offences for decades and came in continued contact with children and young people and only allowed further crimes. He has also since 2006 done nothing and concealed the true extent from me.
Kath.Net: how close is your current relationship with the Catholic Church?
N.N.: My relation was distant in the last years, and that's how I feel after what I had to experience the last 20 weeks, anger, hatred, powerlessness, despair, frustration and disappointment. Even "beautiful things" like my favorite opera Parsifal in which I am confronted with religious motives, burden on me and I can no longer enjoy the Church, above all Archbishop Dr. Zollisch and Abbot Anselm, are still unbelievable for me. The fine words of enlightenment will, change and aid for the victims are in sharp contrast to the experience: I feel powerless again, helpless, abused. I have but also sporadically receive encouragement and assistance from the Catholic Church. I had the impression that I am taken seriously by the Diocese of Basel.
Kath.Net: keeping it possible that you someday really that can handle these terrible events in your childhood, find inner peace and what should the offender or the Church do to to help you here?
N.N.: What happened cannot be undone. I hope that the suffering I experienced at that time and today was not futile, not pointless. The offender, the participants of the Church must provide the truth and their criminal, seat and also moral responsibility. When really a reorientation in the Church, but also in society and family, away from off looking to HIN looking when victims are no longer as an outsider, troublemakers of often hypocritical community branded, I hope to find peace.
Kath.NET: Can you really by thinking you will forgive the offender today day from your deepest heart?
N.N.: I can say today that I must first know the whole truth. From the offender. I call for the debate with him for weeks. However, the offender is not reachable.
Kath.Net: thank you very much for the interview!
