A BishopAccountability.org page, dated 5 September 2022 and republishing Christian Network Europe's contemporaneous reporting (originally 1 September 2022), on the Trier Reappraisal Commission's interim report. It confirms the 513-victim, 195-accused tally across 1946 to 2021, records that an earlier 2018 study found only 442 victims and 148 suspects, and reports that Bishop Stephan Ackermann questioned the commission's independence rather than accepting its findings.
