In October 2021, after more than two years of work, the Commission Independente sur les abus sexuels dans l'Eglise (Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse in the Church) published its report on the state of sexual violence within the Church. According to this report, there have been 330,000 victims of sexual violence in the Church in France since 1950. It is in this context that the IFOP institute questioned French Catholics about their confidence in the institution regarding the protection of minors.
It appeared that only about a third of Catholics trusted the Church on this issue in 2021, and that practicing Catholics had more confidence than non-practicing ones.
