The Life in Italy website reports today (July 2, 2010) that Italian victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests are preparing for the country's first-ever protest rally in September 2010.
Organizers said hundreds of persons who claim they were abused by priests have already agreed to take part in the rally in the northern Italian city of Verona on September 25. Victims' associations from several other nations -- including the United States -- have said they will send representatives to the event.
The Catholic Church has been rocked this year by a multitude of sex abuse scandals, and has had to fend off allegations that the Vatican covered up a number of cases.
Pedophile scandals have hit the Catholic Church in the United States, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Germany, and Italy.
