Child sex abuse case in Roman Catholic Church

Polands Archbishop Wojciech Polak has urged the Vatican to investigate allegations of child sex abuse within the Roman Catholic Church in the country reported in a documentary released on YouTube. The "Hide and Seek" documentary broadcast on YouTube on Saturday alleges the abuse of children by Catholic clerics in Poland, reports Efe news. "As a high representative of the Episcopal Conference, I ask the Holy See to launch proceedings," Archbishop Polak, said. The documentary film is the second by brothers Marek and Tomasz Sekielski and has already racked up over 1.9 million views. "The film... shows that protection standards for children and adolescents in the Church were not respected," Archbishop Polak said in a video aired by the Catholic news agency KAI. "I ask priests, nuns, parents and educators to not be led by the false logic of shielding the Church, effectively hiding sexual abusers," he said. "We do not allow for the hiding of these crimes."
