Also, take note that miguel de Portugal was moved by Heaven to address Cardinal Ratzinger without knowing then the position that the Cardinal was going to occupy (or was already occuping) at the End of These Times, a position we have referred to extensively throughout our documents (those who have eyes, let them see).

Peace be with you, Cardinal Ratzinger!
When I left Salamanca, Spain, the population of the whole Province was undergoing the trauma of another pedophilia scandal. This time involving an Agustino Recoleto, who taught in their school.
There were well-publicized public demonstrations in the city of Salamanca against child sexual abuse.
I arrive in Houston, Texas, and stumble upon an even greater and more scandalous case of child sexual abuse and cover-up involving the Roman Catholic Church in the City of Dallas, Texas. (1)
Cardinal Ratzinger, In the Name of God I admonish the Roman Curia through you: This has to stop at any cost.
The Church can dispense of half of its clergy and hierarchy if that is what is going to take to stop this massive destruction of souls and the little Faith that is left; precisely, the souls and the Faith that the Roman Catholic Church was entrusted with by Jesus Christ Himself.
You and the Roman Curia are, once again, encouraged to carefully meditate on the wisdom of Gamaliel as exemplified in the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter V, verses 34-39.
At His Service, thus at yours, I remain simply...

2. Article: The Dallas Morning News : 31 AUG 97 : Documents show bishops transferred known abuser
My dear sir, God is witness that my heart is full of compassion for those poor creatures who have been afflicted by such a devastating sexual dysfunction, however, they must not be allowed to keep on destroying the image of Christ in the souls of our children.
Just as my heart is full of compassion for those dysfunctional creatures, it is full of contempt for those members of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy who become Accessories of the Crime by outright bribing the few victims who dare to complain, and lying to everyone else so that the spiritual carnage may continue.
Does anyone really think that the Papal Youth Circuses orchestrated by Joaquín Navarro-Valls and his associates are going to counteract before the Eyes of God the monstrosity committed against our children and that has been allowed by the Hierarchy for so long? No, sir, it will not.
If what is necessary for the Roman Catholic Hierarchy to swiftly act and stop offering its young to Baal are large financial judgments against it and negative publicity, then, so be it. The opportunity could not be more desirable for MIRAMAX / The Disney Company, and others, to counteract the ever increasing attacks against them by the so-called Christians who accuse them of giving a distorted view of our clergy, and Christians in general.
Cardinal Ratzinger, the behavior that the Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church continues to exhibit, regarding the sexual misconduct of its clergy, is Institutional Suicide.
The anger felt by Friedrich Nietzsche (1) because he thought that God was a fabrication of the clerics to manipulate the masses, pales in comparison to the just anger that is generated by witnessing the mockery of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ by precisely those who claim to serve Him.
I pray to that loving God, Who continues to be so grievously offended, that everyone within and without the walls of The Vatican can read the handwriting on the wall without Daniel’s assistance. [Daniel 5:1-31]

Subject : The Goodness and Mercy of God
Reference : Past communication dated September 2, 1997
God is Merciful, Cardinal Ratzinger!
In the referenced communication you and the other temporal rulers of the Roman Catholic Church were admonished as such:
“The anger felt by Friedrich Nietzsche because he thought that God was a fabrication of the
clerics to manipulate the masses, pales in comparison to the just anger that is generated by
witnessing the mockery of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ by precisely those who claim to serve
Him.
I pray to that loving God, Who continues to be so grievously offended, that everyone within and without the walls of The Vatican can read the handwriting on the wall without Daniel’s assistance. [Daniel 5:1-31]”
I pray to that loving God, Who continues to be so grievously offended, that everyone within and without the walls of The Vatican can read the handwriting on the wall without Daniel’s assistance. [Daniel 5:1-31]”
“Without Daniel’s assistance” does not mean “without Heavenly assistance”. This time (N1) Heaven chose Saint Francis to help everyone within and without the walls of The Vatican to understand the handwriting on the wall.
Three times Francis heard: “Francis, go and repair my house, which you see is falling down.”
I pray that you are wise enough to understand the message and prudent enough to act upon it.
At the service of God, thus at yours, I remain simply...

CONCLUSION
That is how much they really cared. Do notice that the above letters were just for the year 1997. Our correspondence about this matter to Church authorities and the Press was quite extensive since before the scandal exploded in the U.S.
