Bishop Baetzing hints that Cardinal Woelki should go

The president of the German Bishops Conference Georg Baetzing criticised all those, clerical and lay, who have in any way not acted in a proper and correct manner in matters dealing with clerical child sex abuse.

Baetzing, who is bishop in Limburg, was speaking at a two-day zoom conference of the German Catholic Church.

He also said said that any sort of covering up might well demand resignations. And he said that applied to bishops too.

It was a sensational intervention by a bishop in the ongoing controversy in Cologne concerning an alleged coverup by the Archbishop of Cologne Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki.
