INVESTIGATION CURRENT AFFAIRS
Much has been said about the
Catholic Church’s sex abuse
scandals. We have heard the
pain of victims and seen dio-
ceses going bankrupt for com-
pensating the survivors. Yet
with Pope Francis, we have all
thought that the crisis was over,
that the church had learnt its
lesson. What we have found
out instead, is rather shocking:
2 pedophiles out of 3 are still in
the clergy, the special tribunal
he created does not exist and
bishops are still instructed to
not report abuses to the autho-
rities. At least until the recent
Bishops’ Summit in Rome which
is set to change how child abu-
se is dealt with in the Church.

BEHIND THE ALTAR
Since El-Sisi seized power, ar-
bitrary arrest, torture and en-
forced disappearances have
reached unprecedented levels
in Egypt. Starting from the
murder of the Cambridge rese-
archer in Cairo, Giulio Regeni,
Our Man in Cairo investigates
the most authoritarian regime
in the Middle East. We will hear
the testimonies of those who
have been tortured by the regi-
me and look into the economic
interests that are pushing the
U.S. and the E.U. to turn a blind
eye. Finally, we ask whether
El-Sisi’s crackdown on human
rights may be, in fact just cre-
ating the conditions for a new,
violent uprising in Egypt.
