The past catches up with Monastery Mariastein: monks are said to have abused students
In a school school, the priest of the monastery is said to have systematically committed sexual attacks on children. This reveals television SRF. Today’s monastery leadership is guilty.
The Mariastein monastery gets into the whirlpool of the Catholic abuse scandal.
The monastery has already reacted to the show. Father Peter von Sury, until recently head of the monastery, admits to have already known about an incident in 2010. He had to put up with the accusation that he has not made a consistent and determined effort to clarify completely. « In retrospect, he is fully aware of the severity of this injunction and he regrets it extraordinarily. »
It also says in the message: « Whether and to what extent individual monks of the monastery community had knowledge of the incidents can no longer be determined today. » In any case, it was never openly talked about about it within the community, « and a reappraisal, as it would be a matter of course today, was failed to do so ». In the television contribution by Sury asks the victims of abuse to apologize.
