French opinion on the critical aspect of pedocriminality cases within the Church 2019

Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 11, 2024

In the days following Pope Francis's refusal of the resignation of Cardinal Barbarin (condemned in first instance in March 2019 for not having reported to justice the pedocriminal acts of the priest Bernard Preynat), the source sought to find out the opinion of the French regarding the cases of pedocriminality within the Church. Yet, for more than four out of five French people, these pedocriminal acts constituted one of the most serious crises that the Church has gone through.

Would you say that the cases of pedocriminality and sexual assault are one of the most serious crises that the Church has gone through?
