Maribor, 9 November (STA) - The Maribor Higher Court has upheld a first instance ruling that ordered the Maribor Archdiocese to pay EUR 80,000 to a victim of a paedophile priest, the dailies Delo and Dnevnik report on Saturday. Dnevnik comments that this is a precedence that establishes objective responsibility of the Catholic Church for sexual abuse committed by priests.
