Pope Francis made a stir recently when he topped off his South American tour by accusing clerical child abuse victims of “slandering” a bishop they say covered up their rapey priest’s crimes. He then gave a non-apology, which for some reason didn’t seem to assuage anyone.
Well, he’s determined to make it right, and he’s got just the solution:
After coming under excoriating public criticism, Pope Francis has decided to send the Vatican's most respected sex crimes expert to Chile to investigate a bishop accused by victims of covering up for the country's most notorious pedophile priest.
The Vatican said Tuesday that Maltese Archbishop Charles Scicluna would travel to Chile "to listen to those who have expressed the desire to provide elements" about the case of Bishop Juan Barros.
