So there was a lawsuit filed alleging "abuse," and what we're told here is that there was sexual violence in 67 of some 500 cases, as well as face slapping.  Two links provide all the details for us....in German.

I can't see where anyone who doesn't read German can reasonably comment on the allegations made and, sexual violence aside, whether there was abuse in the sense that criminal allegations are warranted.

Many kids in my area's cushy suburban high school would describe their school like "a prison, hell and a concentration camp."  As a kid, I was slapped by a nun in Sunday school and witnessed other boys being slapped.  Hardly what I'd call abusive.  We used to laugh about it.

The clearest issue, as usual, is the sexual antics of men who are in close contact with boys.  More problems with men who have same-sex attraction electing to join the priesthood.  Not good.
