The United Nation's Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) wants the Vatican, the seat of the Holy See and Pope Francis' bailiwick, to hand over the Catholic church's records as to how it dealt the child sex abuse cases against the church throughout the years.
"In the light of the recognition by the Holy See of sexual violence against children committed by members of the clergy, brothers and nuns in numerous countries around the world, and given the scale of the abuses", the UNCRC believed it is high time that the Vatican should provide detailed information on all cases of child sexual abuse committed by the Catholic clergy around the world.
