Creation of a “Recognition and Reparation Commission” for victims

New measures after the publication of the Sauvé report on child crime in the French Catholic Church. While the floor is freed, the officials of the Conference of Religious of France voted “unanimously” the creation of an “independent Commission of recognition and reparation” for victims of child crime, says its president, Véronique Margron.

This body will have for primary mission to recognize the word of the victim and, according to his wish, to “mediate” between the victim and the congregation concerned, in the matter of a possible compensation, added Sister Margron, at the end. of a general assembly of the Corref which was held during four days in Lourdes.
