More German revelations

Many weeks ago this blog commented on the speed of events in Germany re child sex abuse within the Catholic Church.

The stories coming out about the priest transferred from Essen to Munich make for terrible reading. But it will prove to be the tip of the iceberg in Germany.

The German story is going to be long, cruel and sad. And it will include issues between the former German Democratic Republic, that part of the Catholic Church in the GDR, the Vatican and the Government of the Federal Republic.

There is a runaway train coming down the tracks.
