The Roman Catholic church in the Netherlands is calling for an independent investigation into reports of widespread sexual abuse within its institutions.

Bishop Ad van Luyn made his call for the investigation in the TV programme Kruispunt; he says it is the job of the church to clearly condemn abuse and to apologise to vicitims. He says he also wants to ensure measures are taken to prevent any repetition of sexual abuse in the future.
