Arte: More than 200,000 minors could have been sexually abused by the Catholic clergy in Spain

An independent inquiry found that more than 200,000 minors are estimated to have been sexually abused by clergy in the Catholic Church in Spain. For years, the Church has been covering up this abuse, much like it has done in other countries. There are now calls for the Church to pay reparations to the victims.
