The Roman Catholic church in the Netherlands
was shamed on Friday when a comprehensive investigation of sexual abuse
of children by clergy over 40 years found one in five vulnerable
children had been molested.
An 1,100-page report from a commission led by a former education minister and Christian Democrat leader said it could identify 800 Catholic clergy and other church employees guilty of sexually abusing children in the 40 years from 1945 and that more than 100 perpetrators were still alive.
