An independent commission looking into the sexual abuse of minors in the Catholic Church says it had documented cases pointing to at least 4,815 victims.
Set up by the Portuguese Episcopal Conference to examine abuse in recent decades, the commission added this was the tip of the iceberg.
Presenting the report, the commission’s president, child psychiatrist Pedro Strecht, described its objective as "giving voice to the silence" of victims.
He paid tribute to the hundreds who contacted its staff to provide testimony.
"They have a voice; they have a name," he said.
