CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, now 84, led the Archdiocese of Freiburg from 2003 to 2013 and was chairman of the German Episcopal Conference from 2008 to 2014.

Following the publication of a 600-page study on abuse in the archdiocese, Archbishop Stephan Burger, Zollitsch’s successor, said that Zollitsch “simply ignored Church law that provided for intervention and reporting of cases.”
