The numbers paled in comparison to the tally of known cases kept by Italy's main survivors' group, Rete L'Abuso, which estimates some 1 million victims in the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country.

Italy church says 600 sex abuse cases sent to Vatican

Italy's Catholic bishops provided their first accounting of clergy sexual abuse and revealed on Thursday that more than 600 cases from Italy were on file at the Vatican since 2000.

The numbers paled in comparison to the tally of known cases kept by Italy's main survivors' group, Rete L'Abuso, which estimates some 1 million victims in the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country.

Italy's Catholic bishops provided their first accounting of clergy sexual abuse and revealed on Thursday that more than 600 cases from the country 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.
The Vatican had felt compelled to act after decades in which bishops and religious superiors moved predator priests around from diocese to diocese rather than punishing them or reporting them to police.
Baturi, the secretary-general of the bishops' conference, noted that some of the 613 cases might have been archived and some might contain multiple victims of a serial predator.
&ldquo;We have to understand how many victims, what their profile is, who are those responsible,&rdquo; he said.

The almost haphazard revelation underscored that the initial report by the bishops' conference was not intended to provide an accurate or historic look at the clergy abuse problem in Italy. The country's bishops never authorized such research despite demands from survivors for a full accounting, which some other Catholic Churches in Europe have published.
Instead, the Italian bishops limited the scope of their report to evaluate the work of &ldquo;listening centers&rdquo; that were set up in dioceses since 2019 to receive complaints from victims.
Organizers said during a news conference Thursday that the report provided a &ldquo;first photograph&rdquo; of the problem and the bishops planned to release annual reports from now on.
The report said 89 people had filed complaints in the past two years and identified 68 abusers. It found most victims were between ages 15-18 when the abuse took place, though 16 were adults whom the church considered &ldquo;vulnerable.&rdquo; Most of the claims involved inappropriate language or behaviour and touching.
The numbers paled in comparison to the tally of known cases kept by Italy's main survivors' group, Rete L'Abuso, which estimates some 1 million victims in the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country. The group has identified some 178 accused priests, 165 priests who were convicted by Italian law enforcement and some 218 new cases.
Nevertheless, the numbers reported by the Italian bishops even in these two past years were significant, said Francesco Zanardi, the head of Rete l'Abuso.
&ldquo;If in two years they received 89 complaints, that means the problem is there and it's big,&rdquo; he said in a telephone interview.
Zanardi noted that an unusually high percentage of the accused were lay church workers &ndash; some 34 per cent, compared to the 66 per cent of priests or religious brothers. He noted that lay abusers often find it easier to access potential victims in Italy's vast church-run volunteer programs since background checks are less stringent.
Monsignor Lorenzo Ghizzoni, who is head of the Italian church's national child protection service, said the numbers in the report were significant given the reporting period covered a time when church activities were either shuttered or reduced due to COVID-19.
&ldquo;These are just a few, but they're a lot,&rdquo; especially for a system to receive complaints that had just been started, Ghizzoni said.
From the start, the scope of the Italian report was far more limited than the approach taken by the Catholic hierarchy in many European countries to try to respond to clamoring for accountability about clergy sexual abuse.
When he announced the planned report in May, the head of the Italian bishops' conference, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, insisted the study's scope and the compressed, six-month time frame for its release would enable researchers to provide a more &ldquo;accurate and accountable&rdquo; tally.
Whether by government mandate, parliamentary investigation or church initiation, such reports in Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and France identified systematic problems that allowed thousands of children to be abused by Catholic priests.
In France, a panel of independent experts estimated that 330,000 children were sexually abused over 70 years by some 3,000 priests and church personnel, and that the crimes were covered up &ldquo;systematically&rdquo; by the church hierarchy. That report, and a spate of revelations about high-ranking abusers, has sparked a crisis of confidence in the French Catholic Church.
Zanardi alleged the Italian report was clearly an attempt to &ldquo;minimize&rdquo; and cover up the scope of clergy sex abuse in Italy. &ldquo;It's shameful. It's partial and you don't really know what it's for,&rdquo; he said.

A group of environmental activists released footage Thursday of a protest they said they had staged at the Vatican Museum, where they glued themselves to a famous statue.
The activists from the group Ultima Generazione, or 'Last Generation', said in a note to journalists that two members of their group glued their hands on the plinth of the Roman statue of Lacoon, one of the masterpieces of the Vatican Museums collection, to protest against climate change.
The activists displayed a banner reading, "Last Generation No Gas No Coal" urging politicians to listen to the call from the scientific community and act against climate change.
The activists said museum staff temporarily closed the section where they had staged their protest before being moved away.
The museum did not offer a comment about the action.

Pope Francis added fuel to rumors about the future of his pontificate by announcing he would visit the central Italian city of L'Aquila in August for a feast initiated by Pope Celestine V, one of the few pontiffs who resigned before Pope Benedict XVI stepped down in 2013.
Italian and Catholic media have been rife with unsourced speculation that the 85-year-old Francis might be planning to follow in Benedict's footsteps, given his increased mobility problems that have forced him to use a wheelchair for the last month.
Those rumors gained steam last week when Francis announced a consistory to create 21 new cardinals scheduled for Aug. 27. Sixteen of those cardinals are under age 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave to elect Francis' successor.
Once they are added to the ranks of princes of the church, Francis will have stacked the College of Cardinals with 83 of the 132 voting-age cardinals. While there is no guarantee how the cardinals might vote, the chances that they will tap a successor who shares Francis' pastoral priorities become ever greater.
In announcing the Aug. 27 consistory, Francis also announced he would host two days of talks the following week to brief the cardinals about his recent apostolic constitution reforming the Vatican bureaucracy. That document, which goes into effect Sunday, allows women to head Vatican offices, imposes term limits on priestly Vatican employees and positions the Holy See as an institution at the service of local churches, rather than vice versa.
Francis was elected pope in 2013 on a mandate to reform the Roman Curia. Now that the nine-year project has been rolled out and at least partially implemented, Francis' main task as pope has in some ways been accomplished.
All of which made Saturday's otherwise routine announcement of a pastoral visit to L'Aquila carry more speculative weight than it might otherwise have.
Notable was the timing: The Vatican and the rest of Italy are usually on holiday in August to mid-September, with all but essential business closed. Calling a major consistory in late August to create new cardinals, gathering churchmen for two days of talks on implementing his reform and making a symbolically significant pastoral visit suggests Francis might have out-of-the-ordinary business in mind.

Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church, had an entertaining interaction with some followers recently. The pope was riding in his vehicle, informally called the 'popemobile', in St Peter's Square, when some priests from Mexico hailed him.
The Mexican seminarians from the Legion of Christ asked the Pope about his knee. The Pope has been suffering from strained ligaments in his right knee for many months.
In the viral video, a seminarian is heard saying, "Thank you for your smile, your happiness, for being here despite the discomfort. You are an example for us, as future priests."
To this, Francis replied, "You know what I need for my leg? A little tequila."
A seminarian said that if he ever visits Casa Santa Marta - the Pope's residence - he would get him a bottle of tequila.
The Pope has been advised to use a wheelchair, cane, and undergo physical therapy to help his knee heal.
Francis recently cancelled a 2-day trip to Lebanon due to his knee issue. But he will be visiting Congo, South Sudan, and Canada in July.
