The Vatican’s recent statement that the Congregation of Bishops has
found “no objective reason to preclude” Juan Madrid Barros’ appointment
as bishop of Osorno, Chile, is extremely disheartening to Catholic
Church reform movement Voice of the Faithful, especially in light of the
promise of Francis’ papacy for a more accountable, collegial Church.
Barros is accused by victims of covering up for Fr. Fernando Karadima, whom the Vatican found guilty in 2011 of sexual abuse of minors. Apparently, the terse Vatican statement on Barros’ appointment does not address these allegations.
