Pope Francis defends Chilean bishop accused of covering up sex scandal
By Ray Sanchez, CNN


"There is not a single proof against him, everything is slander," the Pope said of Barros.
According to Crux, a Catholic news outlet, Karadima was convicted of pedophilia and abuse of his position in 2011. He was sentenced to a life of penitence and prayer.
Barros has denied knowing about what he called the "serious abuses" of Karadima and has said he never approved or participated in those actions. In Chile, Pope Francis apologized to victims of abuse by priests. He also met privately with some of them.
Francis, a native of Argentina, is on a two-country, six-city apostolic visit that started in Chile and ends in Peru next week.
The environment and the plight of indigenous people are among the themes of Francis' visit, according to the Vatican.
On Thursday, the Pope took a moment to marry two flight attendants on his papal plane some 36,000 feet over Chile.

I'm far from a fan of Pope Antichrist but is he right? Is there any evidence against Barros?

Sounds like unwarranted blind trust to me. It's one thing to say there's no proof, it's another thing to say that anybody making accusations is lying.

Bergoglio: 'rape victims are slandering Bishop!!!'
normal Catholics: 'how can you say that about actual victims??? Are you saying victims are lying????'
Bergoglio: '....sorry!'

Best way to hit morale of normal Catholics is to let Pope speak to media.
