Former Pope Benedict has asked for forgiveness following a recent report that found he failed to act in at least four cases of sexual abuse by priests when he was the archbishop of Munich. Benedict, however, denied having knowledge of, or covering up, any abuse. The report identified at least 235 sexual predators, along with around 500 survivors, spanning a period of over 50 years.
