Italy’s Catholic bishops have provided their first-ever accounting of clergy sexual abuse
VATICAN CITY -- Italy’s Catholic bishops provided their first accounting of clergy sexual abuse and revealed Thursday that more than 600 cases from Italy were on file at the Vatican since 2000.
The report of the Italian bishops' conference, which only covered complaints that local Italian church authorities had received over the last two years, did not mention the hundreds of cases. It identified 89 presumed victims and some 68 people accused.
But responding to a reporter's question during a press conference about the report, Monsignor Giuseppe Baturi revealed that the bishops' conference was researching 613 files held at the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The Vatican in 2001 required dioceses around the world to send all their credible reports of abuse to the dicastery for processing.

Over 600? Wow!
Strikes me as minimal in comparison to Mohammed and Aisha.
Now there are NATIONS of pedophiles and abused little girls. Example Pakistan. All throughout the Islamic world, child brides are fair play.
In the meanwhile they and the home growns want to attack the church and besmurch the church and Christianity.
How many hundreds of years has the abuse of children by older perverts been going on for?
YEP, Christianity is soooo bad.
It’s a bad football.
