PARIS, Oct 5 — The Catholic Church has been repeatedly rocked by child sex abuse scandals over the last three decades. An independent inquiry today found there were 216,000 victims of French clergy between 1950 and 2020. It is the latest in a series of landmark reports and investigations that...

PARIS, Oct 5 — The Catholic Church has been repeatedly rocked by child sex abuse scandals over the last three decades.

The commission said in February 2017 that most of the abuse took place in churches, with seven per cent of Catholic priests accused of abusing children in Australia between 1950 and 2010. It said allegations were almost never investigated. Pell — who had been Pope Francis’ anti-corruption tsar — was released from prison in 2020 after a court quashed his conviction.In June, Pope Francis rejected an offer by top German bishop Reinhard Marx to resign over the Church’s “institutional and systemic failure” in handling child sex abuse in the western city of Cologne.

It found that 1,670 clergymen had committed some type of sexual attack against 3,677 minors, mostly boys under 13, between 1946 and 2014, while saying this was almost certainly an underestimate. According to lawyers, more than 11,000 complaints have been lodged in the US by victims of priests. Dioceses have paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in out of court settlements.A grand jury investigation into Pennsylvania dioceses in 2018 exposed the systematic cover-up by the Church of abuse by “over 300 predator priests”. More than 1,000 child victims were cited.In 2019, Pope Francis defrocked former American cardinal Theodore McCarrick in a first for the Church.
