It is a blast for the Catholic Church. After two and a half years of work and thousands of testimonies collected throughout France, the report of the independent commission on sexual abuse in the Church (Ciase) is damning. Since 1950, at least 216,000 minors have been victims of sexual violence by priests or religious in France.
What are the other revelations of this report? How to explain the scale of the phenomenon? What must the Church do to change things? In this episode of “L’Heure du Monde”, Cécile Chambraud, journalist specializing in religions and secularism at World, looks back on the unprecedented work of this commission and its historic report.
An episode produced by Clément Baudet, directed by Amandine Robillard and presented by Morgane Tual.
