Survivors of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in France will now be financially compensated, but not everyone is entirely pleased.

French bishops on Saturday approved a programme of payouts to survivors of sex abuse by priests - but some survivors have already objected that the Church has not gone far enough in admitting responsibility.

The size of the payouts will be made will be determined at a meeting in April, conference chairman Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, the archbishop of Reims, told reporters. Michel, another priest who was also a survivor but who did not want to give his full name, agreed with Souveton that the statement was not enough.But De Moulins-Beaufort, who is Archbishop of Reims, did acknowledge the"silence, negligence, indifference, an absence of reaction, bad decisions or dysfunctionality at the heart of the Church".Committee chairman Jean-Marc Sauve told AFP in September that they had received about 2,000 messages in its first three months.

"The bishops are getting around the recommendations of the ... commission so they don't have to face up to what is going to be a tsunami" of complaints, he said.

Election loss report 'not comfortable reading for anyone in Labor party' | Sky News AustraliaLabor MP Patrick Gorman says the party’s recent report on the reasons for its May election loss is “not comfortable reading for anyone in the Labor party”.\n\nAmong the more difficult realities to face, Mr Gorman said, is the loss was caused by “things within our control' rather than global issues. \n\nAsked about Bill Shorten's role in the loss, he admitted the former opposition leader “was front and centre of that election campaign”. \n\nHowever, Mr Gorman said he does not 'believe in criticising former leaders'. \n\n“Bill did some really amazing work over six years repairing relationships within the Labor party,' he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia PatrickGormanMP PatrickGormanMP report: 1.1.
