Vatican tries to shift blame for abuse on to John Paul

Five years after his death, Pope John Paul II's record in office is coming under growing criticism as Vatican officials try to shift the blame for the sex-abuse scandals engulfing the Catholic Church on his leadership.

Above all, the church is casting doubt on the Pope's Polish-born predecessor's record in office, and his fast track to sainthood.

Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, the Archbishop of Vienna -- a staunch supporter of Pope Benedict, and seen as a possible successor -- put the blame on John Paul II and his advisers for failure to take action against Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer, Cardinal Schonborn's predecessor and a serial child-abuser.
