Shock! The Pope Is Now Openly Attacking Child Sexual Abuse Victims For “Slander”

Pope Francis is now attacking the credibility of child sex abuse victims in a shocking move made at the end of a trip to Chile in which he had hoped to “heal” the wounds of said abuse.


That’s right, Pope Francis ended his trip by publicly defending a bishop who victims have accused of covering up widespread pedophilia in the country


According to a report by the Associated Press (https://apnews.com/77f4a7e9779940a48e2347c852516d3c?utm_campaign=Soci alFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP), Francis made the shocking comments in a discussion about Rev. Fernando Karadima who has been found guilty of sexually abusing a slew of minors as a member of the Catholic Church.




Pope Francis accused victims of Chile’s most notorious pedophile of slander 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.


Francis said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up the sex crimes of the Rev. Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are “all calumny.”


The pope’s remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They noted the accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of “penance and prayer” for his crimes in 2011. A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn’t lacking.

The Karadima scandal dominated Francis’ visit to Chile and the overall issue of sex abuse and church cover-up was likely to factor into his three-day trip to Peru that began late Thursday.
Karadima’s victims reported to church authorities as early as 2002 that he would kiss and fondle them in the swank Santiago parish he ran, but officials refused to believe them. Only when the victims went public with their accusations in 2010 did the Vatican launch an investigation that led to Karadima being removed from ministry.


The emeritus archbishop of Santiago subsequently apologized for having refused to believe the victims from the start.


One of the victims made clear his disgust at Pope Francis for essentially covering up for a man who watched as another bishop sexually abused him.



“As if I could have taken a selfie or a photo while Karadima abused me and others and Juan Barros stood by watching it all,” tweeted Juan Carlos Cruz. “These people are truly crazy, and the pontiff talks about atonement to the victims. Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.”



This obviously does not look good for the Pope or the Catholic Church as they are now apparently engaging in attacking the victims instead of actually going after the abusers.

I almost feel as bad for practicing catholics as I do for followers of Islam.

As a praticing Roman Catholic every thing this man dose is infallible and unassailable

And when you ask a Catholic to reconcile the blatant hipocracy you will get a blank stare or you just gotta have faith


Sheesh

Actually, no. Speaking infallibly is a very rare event for popes and is reserved for specific doctrine regarding church teachings like defining the Assumption of Mary or the Immaculate Conception.

According to Wikipedia (obviously not the best source but a quick look-up) reveals only 7 times in the last 1500 years.

A day after Pope Francis ended his trip to Chile by publicly defending a bishop (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-21/chilean-catholics-stunned-pope-accuses-child-sex-abuse-victims-slander) who victims have accused of covering up widespread pedophilia in the country, by attacking the credibility of child sex abuse victims in a shocking move made at the end of a trip which he had hoped to 'heal' the wounds of said abuse, The Holy See has stunned Catholics again... and apologized.

As we detailed over the weekend (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-21/chilean-catholics-stunned-pope-accuses-child-sex-abuse-victims-slander), Associated Press reported that (https://apnews.com/77f4a7e9779940a48e2347c852516d3c?utm_campaign=Soci alFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP) Francis made the shocking comments in a discussion about Rev. Fernando Karadima who has been found guilty of sexually abusing a slew of minors as a member of the Catholic Church.




Pope Francis accused victims of Chile’s most notorious pedophile of slander 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 I see proof against Bishop Barros, then I will talk. There is not a single piece of evidence against him. It is all slander. Is that clear?” the pope replied in a snippy tone.



The pope’s remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They notedthe accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of “penance and prayer” for his crimes in 2011.



A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn’t lacking.



And now, as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pope-abuse/contrite-pope-apologises-for-sexual-abuse-comments-that-wounded-many-idUSKBN1FB20S), Pope Francis, in an extremely rare act of self-criticism, apologised to victims of clerical sex abuse on Sunday, acknowledging he had “wounded many” in comments defending a Chilean bishop who is under scrutiny.



https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/20180122_pope.jpg


However, while the pope was sorry for his choice of words, he hastily added that he was certain that the prelate, Juan Barros, who has been accused of being complicit in the cover-up of the disgusting acts, was innocent.




“I have to apologise,” an unusually contrite pope told reporters aboard the plane returning to Rome from a week-long trip to Chile and Peru, saying he realised he had “wounded many people who were abused”.



“I apologise to them if I hurt them without realising it, but it was a wound that I inflicted without meaning to,” he said. “It pains me very much.”



But, in the latest twist to a saga that has gripped Chile, Francis said Barros, who is accused of protecting a notorious paedophile, would remain in his place in the diocese of Osorno because there currently was no credible evidence against him.




Francis said on the plane: “I know how much they (abuse victims) suffer in hearing the pope say to them ‘bring me a letter with the proof,’ I realise that it is a slap in their faces, and now I realise that my expression was an unfortunate one”.
In his comments on the plane, the pope disclosed that Barros had offered to resign twice in recent years but Francis rejected the offers.




“I can’t condemn him because I don’t have evidence and because I am convinced he is innocent,” Francis said.


He said Barros would remain in his place unless credible evidence is found against him.



Juan Carlos Claret, a spokesman for anti-Barros Catholics in Osorno, southern Chile, said during the trip that he worried the pope’s response to the reporter before the apology would discourage more victims from speaking out.




“What incentive will victims have to come forward when even if the courts and the Vatican have said they are right, in the end the pope says they are pure lies?” he said in an telephone interview.

Actually, no. Speaking infallibly is a very rare event for popes and is reserved for specific doctrine regarding church teachings like defining the Assumption of Mary or the Immaculate Conception.

Ex Cathedra..."from the chair." The Pope is "infallible" in Catholic doctrine only when speaking from his throne, and when explicit infallibility is declared, concerning universal ("catholic") and essential doctrine. Basically, at that time the Pope is speaking in place of Christ (Vicarius Christi; Vicar of Christ).

Speaking in place of Christ has its own implications for non-Catholic Christians.
