Several members of Pope Francis' sex abuse advisory board are expressing concern and incredulity over his decision to appoint the Chilean bishop to a diocese despite allegations that he covered up for Chile's most notorious pedophile. In interviews and emails with The Associated Press, the experts have questioned Francis' pledge to hold bishops accountable and keep children safe, given the record of Bishop Juan Barros in the case of the Rev. Fernando Karadima. The five commission members spoke to the AP in their personal and professional capacity and stressed that they were not speaking on behalf of the commission, which Francis formed in late 2013 and named Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley to head.

Santiago. Un grupo de 31 obispos de Chile están convocados en Roma para reunirse a partir del lunes con el papa Francisco, en lo que se anticipa será un terremoto para la Iglesia chilena y un mensaje inequívoco del Vaticano sobre los abusos sexuales.

El viaje tiene lugar dos semanas después de que Francisco recibió a tres víctimas de abusos sexuales del sacerdote chileno Fernando Karadima, en un encuentro en el que les pidió perdón y les aseguró que tomaría medidas para subsanar el daño.
