The 50-page report, the first-ever global assessment of the church's efforts to address the crisis of sexual abuse within its ranks, highlighted the need for improved accountability.
US Cardinal Sean O'Malley stated that a new period has begun where 'accountability, care and concern for victims is beginning to bring light to the darkness'.
The commission emphasized the importance of compensation for victims as a 'concrete commitment to their healing journey' and pledged standardised procedures.
A clear policy on compensation not only financial but also acknowledging mistakes and offering public apologies was urged by the commission.
