Dragged further into a widening child abuse scandal engulfing the Roman Catholic church, Pope Benedict XVI conferred on the 26 March 2010 with his closest aides as media attention focused relentlessly on his personal role in alleged cover-ups. The growing crisis is fast becoming the most serious to confront the Vatican for decades. But with the 82-year-old pontiff maintaining his public silence over controversies surrounding his past management of cases involving paedophile priests in the US and his native Germany, the Vatican appeared to be adopting a fortress mentality, presenting the church and its leader as victims of a media frenzy. |
