(January 11, 2018 at 7:08 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: As Pope will come to Chile people will protest the fact that he appointed a bishop who is a pedophile and also that he doesn't want to remove over 70 members of clergy that have been accused of molesting children
Quote:Parishioners in Osorno, a small city 800 kilometers (497 miles) south of the Chilean capital, say Vatican representatives denied their requests to meet with Francis. They plan to protest every day of the Pope's Jan. 15 - 18 stay in Chile.
"We believe the victims of sexual abuse have been marginalized (by the Church)," said Juan Carlos Claret, a spokesman for Osorno parishioners. "It's a reality that we in Osorno have been living with for almost four years and we plan to keep the issue alive."
Protests will kick off during the Pope's public appearances in the Chilean capital on Tuesday, dimming the gleam of the first leg of his return to Latin America, where he is especially popular. The trip will also take him to neighboring Peru.
A database compiled by the group and published on its website Wednesday lists nearly 70 Chilean priests, deacons, religious bothers and a nun who have been accused of molesting children, including some that remain in active ministry.

A good write up from BBC world news.
Franky not going to Hollywood.
Quote:When asked to evaluate Pope Francis on a scale of 0 to 10, Chileans gave him a score of 5.3, the lowest ranking for any Pope.
Quote:Some 38% of Chileans regard themselves as agnostic, atheist or non-religious.Now that does surprise me, I thought pretty much all of South America was under Borg control.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
