How dare he judge them? That’s God’s job, and they will confess when they’re ready.

It was written by a journalist, edited by an editor, and published to a site that publishes articles that are news.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


BERLIN (AP) — The archbishop of Cologne, one of Germany’s most important Catholic dioceses, expressed disappointment Friday that employees used work computers to try to access pornographic websites.

The statement from Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki came after the city’s Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper reported that a list from the archdiocese showed more than 1,000 attempts to access such sites from its computers.

“It disappointed me that employees tried to access pornographic pages with the help of devices that our archdiocese made available for their work — even though the firewalls kicked in,” Woelki said.

The archdiocese said its internal investigation had shown that Woelki himself wasn’t one of the “users of incriminated sites,” German news agency dpa reported.

The issue came to light as the archdiocese experiences an unprecedented crisis of confidence centering on Woelki, a conservative who has become a divisive figure in the German church.

Their report led the Vatican to give Woelki a “ spiritual timeout ” and criticize major communication errors.
