Cardinal Woelki Receives Investigative Report Over Sexual Abuse In Cologne Archdiocese

COLOGNE, GERMANY - MARCH 17: The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) stands in twilight on March 17, 2021 in Cologne, Germany. The Catholic Church is facing a number of challenges in Germany, including widening public mistrust, a growing number of people who have officially renounced their adherence and demands by the Maria 2.0 movement for fundamental reform to include women clergy and what many see as a failure to adequately take responsibility for widespread, decades-long sexual abuse by Catholic priests. On March 18, the law firm Gercke and Wollschlaeger will present the results of the independent investigation into dealing with sexual violence in the Archdiocese of Cologne.
