At least an Anglican and Lutheran is prepared to defend Pope Benedict

I saw some newpaper articles that I thought are interesting....
this from Peter Hitchens, the brother of prominent atheist, Christopher Hitchens:

Peter says what he thinks about Dr Rowan Williams' priorities and also has some very interesting comments about the attitude to the new film "Kick Ass" which has just been released here as well as in England.
This is a very detailed defence of Pope Benedict by a Lutheran theologian:

Another interesting recent article is about child abuse cases in state institutions in East Germany and in non-religious schools in Germany:

I haven't seen any mention of this story of abuse in Germany in our media. I suppose the fact that the Pope isn't mentioned means no-one here is interested. I wonder why?
