8:05Now PlayingThe Catholic Church in France has introduced digital ID cards with QR codes for members of the clergy to address the issue of sexual abuse within the institution. The French Bishop's Conference announced the implementation of these cards, which are the size of a bank card and contain background information about the holder. By scanning the QR code, anyone can access information about a clergy member, including their status for performing sermons or hearing confessions. Green indicates no restrictions, orange indicates some limitations, and red signifies the revocation of clerical status. The move comes in response to a 2021 report by the Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church (CIASE) and criticism from victims who highlighted the problem of gyrovagues—suspended priests who continue to perform religious duties. Previously, clergy members used paper documents called "celebret" to certify their profession, but the French Catholic Church opted for digital IDs due to concerns about forgery and difficulty in updating the old system. While some victims' groups are skeptical of the effectiveness of the ID cards, the Church sees it as one of several measures to combat sexual abuse, alongside training priests and supporting victims.
