Pope Francis has accepted the first three resignations from the 34 Chilean bishops who met in Rome. <\/p>\n
On May 18, all of the bishops presented their letters of resignation in Pope Francis' hands. <\/p>\n
MSGR. JUAN IGNACIO GONZ\u00c1LEZ ERR\u00c1ZURIZ Among the three is Juan Barros, bishop of Osorno, who is directly accused by victims of covering up abuse by another priest, Fr. Fernando Karadima. <\/p>\n The other two are Msgr. Gonzalo Duarte Garc\u00eda de Cort\u00e1zar, 76, from the diocese of Valparaiso and Cristian Caro Cordero, 76, from the archdiocese of Puerto Montt.<\/p>\n Pope Francis has designated an apostolic administrator for each one of the three dioceses. <\/p>\n The pope said resignations are not sufficient to resolve the crisis, because it is not only about addressing specific cases, but rather about going even further. <\/p>\n It's likely that in the next few days, Pope Francis will continue to make decisions revolving around this case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 11, 2018.

\nBishop of San Bernardo<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe want to announce that all the bishops who came to Rome have placed our positions in the hands of the Holy Father through a written letter, so he can freely decide the fate of each one of us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
