Original Note:
As cardinal and pope, Benedict pushed through revolutionary changes to church law making it easier to defrock predator priests. As a result of Benedict’s reforms, 800+ abusers were defrocked. Benedict was not a Nazi. He came from a family of anti-Nazis. https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-religion-vatican-city-sexual-abuse-fbd12ab979717ec2dec0781c017b79e0 https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/pope-benedict-dogged-nazi-past-achievements-jewish-relations/story?id=18469350
