Bishop Weakland says Pope Wasn't Aware of Case

The guy that the BBC was calling the Sex Scandal Bishop back in 2002 is being interviewed by the CBC. In the interview he admitted that Pope Benedict didn't know much about what was going on and wasn't very involved in these processes when they were ongoing.

Unfortunately, +Weakland stretches credulity a bit. You don't need to contact Rome to suspend someone a divinis, indeed, such a priest is automatically excommunicated, so it's interesting that +Weakland, who's never been very credible anyway, would make the claim that the Vatican was slow to react on many different issues, which may be true, but they were pretty quick to suspend Father Gruner or Father Leonard Feeney.
