What else would anyone expect of Ratzi? Protecting his corrupt institution and his scumbag minions were always his priorities, with the well-being of parishioners a distant third at best.

I’d certainly say “damning”; but, empirically, “incriminating” has frequently been a long shot; especially now that he’s skulking in the vatican.
Maybe if if we were talking about Grand Mufti Muhammed Al-Ratzinger people would be willing to send in the low-acoustic-signature helicopters and neutralize a few swiss guard; but we haven’t seen the same willingness when dealing with catholics.

I could have sworn this was already well known, but I guess maybe it was just strongly suspected without proof.

It’s long been suspected that this is the reason Pope Benedict XVI was the first Pope in the entire 2000-year-long history of the Church to resign the position.

I’m reasonably sure the song in question was posted on the main page more than once back in the day.

That was pretty much the entire plot of the (excellent) movie ‘Two Popes’ that came out a couple of years ago.

Why is anyone surprised?
This has been going on for more than a very literal thousand years in the “church”.
One has only to read the endless litany of Papal Bulls about lying priests, thieving priests, seducing priests over a very long history.
The cloak of religious sanctity covers a multitude of sins and evil in every religion I have ever examined.
