Speyer Diocese Addresses Research on Clergy Sexual Misconduct - Diocese of Speyer provides insights on research related to sexual misconduct
Here's the lowdown on what's happening:
At 11 AM today, the Catholic Diocese of Speyer will have a press conference at the seminary in the Palatine cathedral city. Attendees will include Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann and Vicar General Markus Magin, who will address a preliminary study regarding sexual abuse within the diocese.
The preliminary study, presented by Mannheim historian Prof. Sylvia Schraut on Thursday, sheds light on how church structures have aided sexual abuse within the diocese.
The Diocese of Speyer has acknowledged multiple cases of abuse over recent years. To date, they've shelled out around 3.6 million euros, covering therapy costs for about 96 victims. Plus, they've got the Palatinate and Saarpfalz district under their wing. The study, instigated in April 2023 by an independent commission, is set to span four years and is funded by the diocese.
