13 January 2022, Bavaria, Altötting: A figure of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI hangs on a facade on Kapellenplatz in the center of the village. A law firm commissioned by the diocese of Munich wants to present an expert opinion on abuse cases there on Jan. 20, 2022. This will also deal with the case of a priest who was appointed in the parish of Garching an der Alz, although he had previously been convicted of child abuse. According to the diocese, there are indications that he also relapsed in Garching. Photo: Peter Kneffel/dpa (KEYSTONE/DPA/Peter Kneffel)
