Spain is creating a compensation fund, funded by the Catholic Church, to aid around 440,000 victims of sexual abuse by clergy. The initiative aims to rectify the historical absence of reparations, engaging the Church in financial contributions and addressing cases involving deceased perpetrators. An independent expert body will assess claims, and a public event for symbolic reparation is planned.
