ROME (CNS) In the wake of a newspaper report revealing hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse in Spain, the country s bishops assured Pope Francis that every diocese has established a commission that will investigate allegations of abuse.
A newspaper uncovered 251 cases of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Spain dating back 80 years. Unlike nationwide efforts in other countries, individual dioceses will look into the cases.
