However, the diocese will no longer participate in a joint commission of several dioceses in East Germany, said diocese spokesman Michael Baudisch on Friday in Dresden.
A first commission of the Archdiocese of Berlin, the dioceses of Dresden-Meissen as well as Görlitz and the Catholic Military Pastoral Care had failed in June 2025.
The main reason was "communicative problems".
The "Free Press" (Friday) published in Chemnitz now reported on inconsistencies at the planned restart in Saxony and accused the diocese of lack of transparency.
According to the newspaper, the historian Bernd Schäfer is possibly to be involved in the process again.
However, according to the report, representatives of the now dissolved joint commission had deprived him of their trust and recalled it.
67 cases known so far
Whether Schäfer – as reported in the newspaper – was entrusted with a work on the subject of abuse in Saxony, the diocese has neither confirmed nor denied on request.
Baudisch explained that an expert opinion on the abuse cases of the diocese of Dresden-Meissen was planned.
In accordance with the agreements with the Independent Commissioner against Sexual Abuse of Children and Adolescents, Kerstin Claus, a committee will be accompanying, in which those affected also cooperate.
The diocese will "inform more concretely in due course," it said.
According to its own information, 67 cases of sexual abuse have been known in the diocese since 1945.
