The report describes abuses by some 3,000 priests and other church figures that were covered up for decades in a \u201csystemic manner,\u201d said Jean-Marc Sauv\u00e9, president of the commission that issued it.<\/p>\n<p>The report confirms that about 80 percent of those abused were boys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe consequences are very serious,\u201d Sauv\u00e9 said. \u201cAbout 60 percent of men and women who were sexually abused encounter major problems in their emotional or sexual life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report fills 2,500 pages and was issued as the French Catholic Church confronts shameful secrets that were long covered up, just as has occurred in other countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Olivier Savignac, the head of victims association Parler et Revivre (Speak Out and Live Again), told The Associated Press that the high number of victims per abuser was particularly \u201cterrifying for French society, for the Catholic Church.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savignac described being homosexually abused at age 13 by the head of a Catholic camp in the south of France who was also accused of assaulting other boys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI perceived this priest as someone who was good, a caring person who would not harm me,\u201d Savignac said. \u201cBut it was when I found myself on that bed half-naked and he was touching me that I realized something was wrong\u2026.And we keep this, it\u2019s like a growing cyst. It\u2019s like gangrene inside the victim\u2019s body and the victim\u2019s psyche.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a measure of how deeply homosexuality infected the Catholic church, out of a reported 330,000 children who were victims of sex abuse within France\u2019s church over the past 70 years, some 80 percent of the victims were boys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-849037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
