I mean he's still a Pope, so no shit.

Exactly. No way you become pope without having had to get your hands dirty.

poep is the correct Dutch spelling for it (pronounced the same as poop).

Honestly, most cardinals that were in any kind of position to be elected pope probably have similar stories, especially from that far back.

Not saying this is OK, but its kind of depressing that not having a history of protecting pedophiles is too high of a bar for morality for electing a pope.
