Janssen was bishop in Hildesheim between 1957 and 1982.
The altar boy was given €10,000 by church authorities. It is alleged that Janssen began abusing the boy when he was 10 and the abuse continued for five years.
The former bishop died in 1988.
Can the Irish church be serious about its effforts in exorcising what has happened without making public the wrong-doing of its culpable ministers, including those who have died but may never have come to the attention of the Garda or appeared in a court of law?

This one is not dead yet as far as I can make out and he did receive some publicity in 2010, but only in relation to one victim.
