independent commission found almost 5,000 children abused by Catholic priests in Portugal since 1950

🇻🇦 They're all pedophiles 💯

An independent commission found that almost 5,000 children had been abused by Catholic priests in Portugal since 1950.

Thousands of reports of pedophilia in the Catholic Church have surfaced around the world and Pope Francis is under pressure to deal with the scandal.

A Portuguese investigation commissioned by the church in this staunchly Catholic country has released its findings after hearing more than 500 victims last year.

"These testimonies allow us to establish a much larger network of victims, at least 4,815 people," Pedro Strecht, head of the commission, said at a press conference in Lisbon, which was attended by several senior church officials.
