Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald said the Catholic Church in some countries was in denial about the problem of child sexual abuse by priests and other religious. "It's not helpful for the church in many countries to deny or to assert that the child sexual abuse issues are that of the white western world or some European countries," Mr Fitzgerald said on Monday.
