Another blow to the Vatican and the Catholic Church: Around 4,400 people
ITALY

Around 4,400 people have been sexually abused by Catholic priests in Italy, in cases recorded since 2020, according to figures published on October 24 by 'Rete L'Abuso', the largest group of victims of clerical abuse in the country.

According to Reuters , the toll was based on victim testimonies, court documents and press reports. The group's founder, Francesco Zanardi, said it was not known how far back in time some of the allegations go.

The Italian Synod of Bishops, which has recently been sharply criticized by the Vatican Commission for the Protection of Minors, has not commented on the findings, a spokesman said.

The Catholic Church has been rocked for decades by scandals involving paedophilia and cover-ups by priests, but local church authorities in Italy have been accused of failing to deal with the problem transparently. Pope

The young Leo XIV, who met with survivors of clerical abuse for the first time this week, urged bishops “not to hide allegations of wrongdoing.” His predecessor, the late Pope Francis, made the fight against abuse a priority during his 12-year papacy, but with mixed results.

In a report published on October 16, the Vatican Commission for the Protection of Minors noted that only 81 out of 226 Italian dioceses responded to a questionnaire on their child protection practices.

'Rete L'Abuso' said it had recorded 1,250 suspected cases of abuse - some involving multiple victims - of which 1,106 involved Catholic priests. The rest included nuns, religious teachers, volunteers, educators and members of scouting organisations.

According to the report, a total of 4,625 people are considered victims, or what the organization calls “survivors,” of whom 4,395 were abused by priests. Of these, 4,451 were under 18, while 4,108 were boys. The remaining victims include five nuns, 156 vulnerable adults, and 11 people with disabilities.

Of the 1,106 suspected priests, only 76 were brought to ecclesiastical courts, 17 were temporarily suspended, seven were transferred to other parishes, and 18 were dismissed or resigned from their priestly duties. Five of them are reported to have committed suicide.
