An investigation into sexual violence committed within the Catholic Church in France has finally been made.
You will find the report of this commission of inquiry here (There is an English version):
We victims, need society as a whole to change!
That ALL professionals in contact with children be trained and that reports and investigations be systematized.
That the police and justice come out of the concepts of "the child lies", false memories, parental alienation ... and that a real policy of deterrence be put in place with real consequences for pedophile acts. And that the registration in the file of authors be systematized.
That the field of health be formed and that a true care policy having proven their scientific evidence as for their effectiveness be privileged. That the field of psychiatric care be protected and regulated to rule out pseudo-therapy and that free and effective care be offered to survivors of sexual violence.
That the field of education (and contact with minors in general) have an obligation to report (which is anonymous to protect them) and to train and monitor people in contact with children.
That doctors, dentists, gynecologists ... receive training and that the health field communicate and work together to offer comprehensive care to victims because these crimes do not only affect their mental health but their entire body ... we we need multidisciplinary teams by our side! That the obligation to report be systematized (and anonymous).
Whether the question you live or have you experienced violence is systematized in all professional circles.
That parenting training be compulsory for any future parent who would address the concepts of consent, respect for their body and the limits to be instilled and respected with their child, sexual violence and an incestuous climate ...
That during compulsory medical visits to our children's doctors, people trained in screening for violence systematically ask the children the question and that inquiries be carried out by trained social workers.
The fight to be led is societal !!!!!
Pedocriminality is a PLAGUE which operates in ALL circles !!!! And first and foremost within the family ...
It is good that the CIASE report sheds light on the extent of this crime in the church, but it is everywhere that things must move !!!!
There MUST be a policy that acts concretely and quickly !!!!
13 victims per day since 1950 raped or assaulted by pedophiles members of the Catholic Church ....
It's time to name this mass crime for what it is: a CRIME!
THEN IN PITY STOP WITH THE TERMS "Abuse, pedophiles and abused !!!!!!
330,000 children .... respect them! Respect us! Stop minimizing what has been done. Stop looking away!
Pedophile means who loves children 330,000 lives scratched or destroyed and this only represents those who could speak and the cases of victims of church members so there are many more !!!!
Abuse implies that there is a threshold not to be exceeded ... 330,000 ... is it good? Is the threshold exceeded now?
What does 330,000 victims represent?
More than the total population of the city of Bordeau (236,700 inhabitants), a little less than Nice (340,700 inhabitants) ....
More than Lille, Rennes, Montpellier, Grenoble, Angers, Nantes, Strasbourg, Toulon, Saint Étienne ...
Society and the Church have left an entire city such as Nice, abandoned, without care, without protection ....
"In 70 years, 216,000 people have been victims of clerics or religious, according to the commission. This figure rises to 330,000 if we count the victims of lay people in Church mission, as for catechism or chaplaincy for example."
The video of the official submission of the report:
Strong and significant moment for me of the speech of Mr. Sauvé during the submission of the CIASE report:
He said that historically 2 moments have been decisive:
The conviction of Monsignor Pican for not denouncing pedocriminality in 2001
the trial of Father Preynat and Bishop Barbarin in 2020
These 2 strong legal acts enabled the establishment of the CIASE commission and the rendering of this damning report which I hope will be an awareness accompanied by effective acts.
Faith and religious beliefs can in a certain way help man to tend towards an ideal of humanity, of behavior, but, and this is what Mr. Sauvé highlights, behind faith there are men and women and men. men's justice is primordial and to be inserted in the regulations within religious beliefs.
One must not go without the other.
Men's justice must be a safeguard and a support which applies whatever the institution!
The confession must, as Mr. Sauvé said, submit to reporting obligations when it comes to crimes. The cult of secrecy must stop.
We must stop seeing the victims as liars, storytellers or opportunists in search of recognition or money, people who disturb order ...
The victims are whistleblowers to stop this scourge.
Child crime destroys lives, kills psychically and physically.
It is up to the state to take this problem head on and legislate, oblige, systematize ... society to demand that all its members including children, people with disabilities or vulnerable have the right to a secure environment free from violence and to taking charge of their trauma.
Another important point in France, it is essential that the company stops using an inappropriate vocabulary to name these acts !!!
In French, the terms "abusers", "abused" come from the word "abuse" which means "Bad use, excessive or unfair use of something" or "Made to exceed certain rights, to depart from a standard, to a rule and, in particular, injustice, wrongdoing established by habit or custom; excess ". They imply the fact that if a child is abused, there is an acceptable threshold and then at one point it is too much ...
The term "pedophile" or "pedophilia" which etymologically comes "from the Greek radicals παῖς / paîs (" child ") and φιλία / philÃa (" friendship "). The etymological meaning of the word therefore leads to friendship for children".
An article which summarizes things well on this subject and gives the good terms to use in French:
In France, some Bishops hide behind the "secret of confession" to excuse and minimize the involvement of the Catholic Church in child crime.
In this article, a point on the law is made:
There is therefore URGENCY to modify the law in France so that the obligation to report is made to all professionals in contact with children !!!
And here is a petition to sign for this investigation to be extended to the world level because unfortunately the Catholic Church has sent these pedophile priests very often abroad, so to have a real extent of this scourge it would also be necessary to investigate at the world level. ..
