We are Church Ireland fully supports Marie Collins’s call for Bishop Juan Barros of Chile to be removed from his Office as Bishop. We believe that Pope Francis should move immediately to suspend Bishop Juan Barros . The new bishop is accused of protecting Chile's most notorious paedophile priest Fernando Karadima.
Four years ago he was found guilty by the Vatican of the
serial abuse of teenage boys and banned from celebrating mass in public. One of his victims testified that the newly-appointed Bishop saw Karadima molesting him.
