The Catholic Church in Australia has
paid $276 million in compensation to thousands of people sexually abused
as children by priests and religious brothers.
The victims who have come forward to the church have received on average $91,000, according to data released by the child sex abuse royal commission on Thursday. In total 4445 people have made abuse claims to the church but that number still does not reveal the true extent of abuse in Catholic institutions in Australia as many victims never come forward.
