BBC documentary described as "beat-up" by Catholic Church (full text)
Radio New Zealand Newswire â€" 03 10 2006 : 09:07:54
The Catholic Church says a documentary claiming the Pope Benedict XVI was
involved in covering up child sex abuse by priests, is a beat-up. The BBC
programme looks at a secret document which instructs bishops about how to
deal with allegations against priests, and says the current pope enforced
these rules for 20 years. Communications director for the Catholic Church in
New Zealand, Lyndsay Freer, says she believes it relates to the seal of
confession, where a priest is bound never to divulge what is spoken. Ms
Freer says the producer and programme makers are working to their own
agenda, which is a beat up of the Pope and the Catholic church.
