As far as the pedophilic priests, maybe he did ignore it. It is a very embarrising issue. The priests should have been immediately excommunicated and thrown in jail.
Not "maybe", he was well aware of hundreds upon hundreds of paedophilic priests. So fooking what if it was a "very embarressing issue"? I'm sure the embarressment saved at the time was greatly appreciated by the victims. Really, he acted disgracefully on this issue and could have prevented millions of acts of abuse.
