Spain is addressing sexual abuse within the Catholic Church with a new reparations program. Victims like Paula Alonso-Pimentel, who was abused by a priest over 50 years ago, can now seek compensation. The program, launched this year, offers a one-year window for claims, with Spain's government deciding on awards the church will pay. This initiative follows years of controversy and reporting by the newspaper El País on widespread abuse. Some victims are hopeful, while others question the program's effectiveness and transparency. Critics worry about the short time frame and lack of a clear reparations scale.
