The French bishops recognized this Friday the institutional responsibility of the Catholic Church in the thousands of cases of sexual abuse registered in its bosom, and pointed out the “systemic dimension” of these crimes.
These acts, according to the president of the Episcopal Conference, Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, were possible due to a “general context, modes of operation, mentalities and practices within the Church.”
“This responsibility implies a duty of justice and reparation,” he indicated in the framework of the assembly of the French Episcopal Conference, which has been held since Tuesday in Lourdes, and which dedicates the bulk of its agenda to sexual assaults denounced by a commission independent, which accounted for more than 216,000 cases since 1950.
