Norway's Roman Catholic Church has been informed of two new possible cases of paedophilia by priests, a senior cleric announced today.Among tip-offs received since the revelation Wednesday of a first incident "there are two cases that I did not know of", Bishop of Oslo and Trondheim Bernt Eidsvig told reporters.
They date back over 20 years, he said.
Eidsvig disclosed Wednesday at the request of the Vatican that one of Norway's former bishops, the German-born Georg Mueller, had abused a choirboy in the early 1990s.
The disclosure prompted a deluge of tip-offs about possible paedophile priests.
"I received so many email tip-offs about possible aggressions and other sexual abuse that the computer server crashed," Eidsvig was quoted as saying by the tabloid paper Verdens Gang today.
