  • REL-3.7: France's independent commission CIASE estimated that 216,000 children were sexually abused by clergy and religious from 1950 to 2020, with a 95 percent confidence interval of 165,000 to 270,000, from a survey of 28,010 adults. It found that over most of that period the Catholic Church's attitude was concealment, relativization or denial.
