Editorial: El País

  • The Spanish bishops have reacted evasively to the scandal of sexual abuse of minors within the Church.
  • The PAÍS analysis reveals omissions and gaps in the Episcopal Conference's report.
  • The report ignores over 300 cases already reported and dismisses previously published cases.
  • The text presentation was done non-transparently, without allowing questions.
  • The report fails to respect the original work of EL PAÍS that covers 1,460 accused and at least 2,608 victims.
  • The lack of detail about victims and abusers hinders the proper investigation of the cases.
  • The management of this scandal by Cardinal Juan José Omella has been questioned.

Conclusion: It's evident that the Spanish Episcopal Conference needs to seriously and transparently address these serious abuse cases and redress the victims.
