This is the best summary I could come up with:
More than one in 200 Spaniards say they were sexually abused by the Catholic church when they were minors, according a report published on Friday.
Spain’s acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the release of the report was a “milestone” in the country’s democratic history.
“Today we are a slightly better country, because a reality that everyone was for years aware of but no one talked about, has been made known,” Sanchez told reporters in Brussels.
The 777-page report also included statements from 487 victims, who stressed “the emotional problems” the abuse has caused them, Gabilondo said.
The report also called for a state fund to be set up to compensate survivors, around 65% of whom are believed to be male.
Since then, the church has faced similar accusations in a number of countries including the United States, Ireland, Australia, France and Chile.
