Pope Francis stuns Chile, accusing paedophilia victims of ‘slander’ as he defends bishop accused of cover-up

there are so many sides to this pope, the first time I read about him today... he was crying tears of sorrow and pain for the victims... survivors... now he has changed sides... at the same time turning his back on the men and women who were raped and abused by Jesus brides... this tells me that he does not believe the victim's stories... How are we to believe in him... when he keeps sending out false apologizes... he changes his words... more than he changes his clothes... Ann

‘He has just turned back the clock to the darkest days of this crisis. Who knows how many victims now will decide to stay hidden, for fear they will not be believed?’ Pope Francis accused victims of Chile’s most notorious paedophile of slander on Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country. The day they bring me proof against Bishop (Juan) Barros, then I will speak,” the pope said in response to a journalist’s question about the 61-year-old bishop, appointed by Francis in 2015 despite being accused of covering up another priest’s abuse of boys.
