Thousands of paedophiles have operated within the French Catholic Church since 1950, the head of a panel investigating abuses by church members says. Jean-Marc Sauvé told French media that the commission had found evidence of 2,900 to 3,200 abusers - out of a total of 115,000 priests and other clerics.
The commission is to release a lengthy report on Tuesday. It is based on church, court and police archives, as well as interviews with victims. The independent inquiry was commissioned by the French Catholic Church in 2018, following a number of scandals in other countries.

Earlier this year Pope Francis changed the Catholic Church's laws to explicitly criminalise sexual abuse, in its biggest overhaul of the criminal code for decades. The new rules make sex abuse, grooming minors, possessing child pornography and covering up abuse an offence under Canon Law.[Having been caught with their skirts hitched up, the odious myth-flogging organization finally took action to protect children instead of its deviant clerics. Recruit males who are willing to forgo marriage with an adult woman, and any organization is bound to include pedophiles, gay men, frustrated heterosexuals, and the occasional asexual. Female priests would have been a safer concept, but homoauthoritarian males despise women.]
