VOICED: German monastery confronts horrors of child abuse crimes

The video discusses the history of abuse at a Benedictine monastery in Germantown, where over 100 children were sexually abused by Catholic monks until 1990. In response to accusations of a cover-up, the monastery has opened its doors to demonstrate its efforts to prevent future abuse. Current monks are trained to avoid close contact with children and encouraged to engage with the outside world. Despite legal limitations on prosecuting old crimes, investigations continue, and victims seek justice. The church acknowledges its responsibility and promises compensation, although the German church has not fully embraced this step.
