Lawsuit Against Pope Benedict XVI Will Continue Despite Death

“He sold his version very well,” the victim said in the lawsuit, which was filed in June. The victim says the former pope whose birth name was Joseph Ratzinger “was aware of the situation” and failed to act.

In 2016, the priest was investigated and the Vatican judiciary which determined that Ratzinger and archbishop Friedrich Wetter did, in fact, know of the abuse.

Titz said in a statement Monday that the court has allowed the case to continue despite Benedict’s death. “The proceeding will continue against the heirs.” Benedict has no known children. It is unclear if he left his estate to any relatives, who will now be subject of the civil suit.
