Poland sees first anti-paedophilia rally against Catholic ChurchSome 200 people took to the streets of Warsaw on Sunday to protest child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, in the first major such rally in staunchly Catholic Poland. There are no official statistics on the number of Polish priests convicted of child sex abuse, but a Polish association that helps victims estimates there were around 56 over nearly two decades, including clergy convicted of possessing child pornography. The protesters stopped in front of four churches in Warsaw to read out victims’ accounts.
