French Catholic Church starts compensating sex abuse victims
Summary by Ground News
France's Catholic Church has paid financial compensation to 23 victims of child sexual abuse by priests or other church representatives. Representatives of the Independent National Authority for Recognition and Reparation said Friday that over 1,000 victims have come forward to claim compensation. France's Catholic bishops conference agreed to provide reparations after a report issued last year revealed a large number of child sex abuse cases.
