After creating a victims’ fund one year ago, the Swiss Catholic
Church has set up a reparations commission to formally examine abuse
victims’ complaints. The news coincides with the publication this week
of a biography in which the author recounts years of abuse by a Swiss
priest.
The commission is ready to receive compensation requests
from victims of paedophile priests, Joseph Bonnemain, from the
Conference of Swiss Bishops, told the Swiss News Agency on Tuesday.
