Abstract: »This article provides a comparative analysis of the methodologies, findings, and recommendations of commissions of enquiry into sexual abuse in the Church. It highlights the heterogeneity of the methodologies, the various compositions and investigation periods of these commissions, as well as the impact of the socio-cultural environment on the work carried out. Reversely, our analysis shows that the results obtained mainly converge: abuse is massive, abusers are mostly men, the abused are, until the 1990s-2000s, mainly male victims; the abusive logic is above all situational. Finally, all studies highlight the inadequate institutional management of sexual violence.« (Source: Revue du droit des religions)
