MADRID, Spain - Spain 's Catholic Church on Tuesday said it had approved a plan to compensate victims of child sexual abuse by its clergy and expressed hope it would be operational within months. Spain 's left-wing government has upped pressure on the Church over clerical abuse which has only recently gained traction in a country once deeply Catholic but now increasingly secular.
"If a case arose where a congregation, or a diocese.. refused to give compensation, the higher Church authority will step in to cover it," he told reporters.The CEE said in March it had approved its own comprehensive compensation plan for victims but did not give details about how or when it would be implemented, nor did it give figures.Victims groups have denounced the Church's opacity and its failure so far to offer any reparations.
