Revealing the Truth: Commission to Unveil Sexual Abuse Report from Diocese of Fulda

You heard it right! After almost four years of thorough investigation, the commission delving into sexual abuse claims within the Diocese of Fulda is set to release its groundbreaking final report on June 17. A press conference has been scheduled for this momentous occasion in Fulda.

According to the diocese itself, it's a pivotal step in confronting the past and establishing a more trustworthy future. The commission, composed of experts and led by lawyer and ex-mayor of Fulda, Gerhard Möller, has taken a firm stance, adhering to national standards set collaboratively by the German Bishops' Conference and the Independent Commissioner for Questions of Sexual Abuse of Children. Victims have also contributed to their exhaustive research.

The commission's relentless pursuit has been focused on two key aspects: meticulously evaluating and reviewing personnel files dating back to 1945, and conducting confidential interviews with victims and witnesses. The highly anticipated report will be handed over to Bishop Michael Gerber of Fulda, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the German Bishops' Conference. Post-delivery, an extensive statement is expected before the summer break.

Bishop Gerber expresses his hopes that the report will shed light on the past and offer guidance for the future. "Only by acknowledging our past can we move forward with confidence," he remarks.
