That charge was made public in 2002 and it's pretty much impossible to believe the RCC didn't know about it well before. So for at least 16 years the Vatican had strong reasons to believe they had a child rapist in their midst and did absolutely nothing about it. For 5 of those years pope Frank was the HMFIC.

So there's what pope Frank says, and there's what pope Frank does, and those two things don't reconcile.
