This part of the thread is quite timely. See what the recently released report on the Catholic boys' German choir (Domspatzen choir) said: 

"The whole system of education was oriented toward top musical achievements and the choir's success. . . . Alongside individual motives, institutional motives -- namely, breaking the will of the children with the aim of maximum discipline and dedication -- formed the basis for violence."

547 members estimated to be abused between '45 and '92. Ratzinger's brother was the director. He has been faulted in the report for "looking away" and failing to intervene.
