Hundreds of protesters in Chile opposing the controversial appointment
of a Santiago bishop, accused of being involved in a cover-up of sexual
abuse, marched outside St Matthew’s Cathedral in Osorno, a day after
supportive comments by Pope Francis were aired on Chilean television.
A local television station on Friday aired a video in which Pope Francis defends the bishop of Osorno, Monsignor Juan Barros, whose opponents allege was involved in a cover-up pertaining to a notorious pedophile priest. In the video, shot in May and broadcast only this week by Chilean TV channel Mega, Francis attacks “leftists,” blaming them for a campaign against Barros’ appointment.
