People in Australia, Europe, and North and South America have charged they were sexually abused by clergymen and lay people |
More than half of the Netherlands' senior clerics were involved in covering up sexual assault of children between 1945 and 2010, a press report claimed Saturday, further engulfing the Catholic Church in a global abuse scandal.
Over the
course of 65 years, 20 of 39 Dutch cardinals, bishops and their auxiliaries
"covered up sexual abuse, allowing the perpetrators to cause many more
victims", the daily NRC reported.
"Four
abused children and 16 others allowed the transfer of paedophile priests who
could have caused new victims in other parishes," the Dutch newspaper
added.
Church
spokeswoman Daphne van Roosendaal told AFP the church could "confirm a
part" of the report.
Other
elements were based on anonymous information provided by a victims' assistance
unit set up by the church.
"The
names of several bishops correspond to those named in a report commissioned by
the Church in 2010," the spokeswoman said.
Most of the
accused clerics have since died, and the statute of limitations has expired in
all cases, she added. Those still alive declined to comment, NRC said.
Meanwhile
in France, a priest has been charged with sexually abusing four brothers, now
aged from three to 17, his lawyer said Saturday.
The family
brought the complaint against the 64-year-old priest, whose parish is in the
central Cantal region. All four boys were said to be in the church choir.
The lawyer,
Komine Bocoum, did not say when the alleged offences were said to have taken
place.
Local
bishop Bruno Grua said Saturday the his diocese was "shocked by these
unspeakable acts".
They are
the latest in a slew of assault allegations against the Catholic Church
spanning several continents.
People in
Australia, Europe, and North and South America have charged they were sexually
abused by clergymen and lay people, in what German Archbishop Georg Gaenswein
has called the Church's "own 9/11".
In August,
Pope Francis declined to comment on a claim that he ignored sexual abuse
allegations against a senior clergyman in the United States.
On
Wednesday, the German Catholic Church said it was it was "dismayed and
ashamed" by decades of child sex abuse by priests.

There it a large struggle within the Church, even right now, and great dissention, for it knows that it is not giving what humanity wants. The doctrine is not current to the puzzles of life. The answer will be to create a better balance between the feminine and masculine, and the new Pope, or the one after that, will try to allow women to be in the higher echelon of the Church structure to assist the priests.
It will be suggested to let women participate in services, doing things women did not do before. This graduates them within church law to an equality with priests, but doesn't actually let them become priests just yet. However, don't be surprised if this begins in another way, and instead gives priests the ability to marry. This will bring the feminine into the church in other ways. It will eventually happen and has to happen. If it does not, it will be the end of the Catholic Church, for humanity will not sustain a spiritual belief system that is out of balance with the love of God and also out of balance with intuitive Human awareness. …”

“… I gave you a channelling years ago when Pope John Paul was alive. John Paul loved Mary, the mother. Had John Paul survived another 10 years, he would have done what the next Pope [The one after the current one, Benedict XVI] will do, and that is to bring women into the Church. This Pope you have now [Benedict XVI] won't be here long.* The next Pope will be the one who has to change the rules, should he survive. If he doesn't, it will be the one after that.
