Very well done again for that.

As for "we cannot know the full truth of the matter without access to the original documents" I don't believe you would even believe it, if the original document
did substantiate it.
You'd probably make up some weak excuse about "mistakes" or misunderstandings" because you're probably in total denial about the scale of the abuse.
Do you accept it would be an endorsement of paedophilia if the original documents were checked and verified as accurate ?

You offered no evidence to support your claims.
That is a conspiracy theory.
Even before the translation, you said:
"There is an educational tour available which includes videos and a song-book, but again, there is no way of telling whether the items complain about exist or, if they do, whether
mistranslation is involved."
Then you went off into a rant slaggin off LifeSiteNews without any supporting evidence.
Now you have translated the subsequent article with specific quotes included you have apparently now changed your stance to "we can't beleive it without the original documents"

But you were quite happy to "witch hunt" after LifeSiteNews without any supporting evidence weren't you ?
A bit hippocritical to say the least.
To be honest I'm only suprised you didn't make up the translation to suit your own apparent agenda.
However, you've done a great job with the translation so I hope you take my above comment as a compliment.
I notice the "Spiegel Online" website uses specific quotes which you have successfully translated.
Do you believe there is any reason to doubt this publication and the quotes included ?
Are there are legal implications if they misquote the original booklet ?
Is there any possible reason to doubt the authenticity of the precise quotes made in the article ?
