Quote:Joseph Ratzinger heads the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising from March 1977 to February 1982 and approved the January 1980 transfer of “H” to the Munich parish.
Joseph Ratzinger is elected pope in April 2005.
See chart.
Jan. 1980 “H” moves to a parish in Munich to undergo therapy after being accused of molesting boys, a decision that was taken “with the approval of the archbishop.” He is allowed to resume pastoral work by the vicar general.
