On Tuesday, Switzerland will learn what researchers from the University of Zurich have discovered: priests have abused children, youth, men and women for decades. Instead of taking action against sexual predators, bishops covered up their crimes. Instead of banning them from pastoral care, they were transferred. The Church promised merciless information. But she makes too many mistakes and no one takes responsibility.
And the supervisory authorities are not coping. Neither the cantonal churches nor the cantonal ministers of religion succeeded in treatment and prevention. The Catholic Church is not some kind of association, but a regional church with privileges.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Ireland, the US or Germany: the more government agencies intervene, the better. Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis is to summon the Pope’s ambassador to Bern. Because the Vatican continues to make it more difficult to combat cases of abuse. The fact that Bishop Joseph Bonnemain has to investigate the activities of his fellow brothers is a step forward in the history of the church, but from the point of view of the rule of law it is absurd: Bonnemain is in fact biased.
Alain Berset should also take action. As minister of religion, he did nothing for years. He should urgently fix this at the end of his term.
