Ranato Poblete SJ born 1924

It is often reported that Emeritus Pope Benedict XVl/Joseph Ratzinger was inclined to blame the events of the 1960s/70s for much of the sexual abuse that has spilled out on to our pages over the last two/three decades.

It's not the case.

The late Chilean Jesuit priest Renato Poblete was a notorious sexual abuser. He died in 2010, aged 86. He was born in 1924.

He was a high-profile, 'much-respected' Jesuit priest. But there was always a suspicion about him, rumours. And that's such a familiar story.

And all the men who never made it to the pages of the newspapers.
