TOKYO — The Catholic Church in Japan is preparing to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against minors by its priests, including accusations from 20 years ago, amid widening pedophilia scandals.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Japan said Thursday it has established a committee per district but details of an investigation haven’t been decided. The conference said surveys found two reported cases in 2002 and five in 2015, which weren’t disclosed or verified. It said they will be retroactively investigated.
The decision comes after Pope Francis convened a bishops’ summit in February to press responses to worldwide scandals. He is expected to visit Japan in November in the first papal visit to the country since John Paul II in 1981.
Why can't Catholics just start independent Catholic churches, so they can ordain women, let priests marry, and call the cops on abusive clergy?
It's an international pedophile sex cult. This cult Should be completely dismantled and it's trillions given back to all the people it systematically abused and stole from.
No country is safe.
When will US institutions begin investigating sex abuse? 1/5 girls and 1/20 boys in US are sexually abused before 18.
😔
For shame
If you still rock with the Catholic Church then you support child sex abuse. That simple.
Catholic Church the gift that keeps giving. How can anyone still support them and their very corrupt hierarchy? I wonder if disgust/disdain is being reflected in the Sunday collection boxes and a worldwide decline in numbers?
Oh FFS Lets call them what they are - the biggest sex trafficking ring this world has ever seen
*pretends to be shocked*
