Fresh cases of abuse in Regensburg cathedral choir were revealed by investigators on Friday, who said at least 231 children have been abused by priests and teachers since the 1950s in a scandal that has rocked the Bavarian city.

Hmmmm. Is the Church now paying out for psychological damage caused by sanctioned non sexual physical violence? That should empty out the coffers pretty quickly.
