Following three individual meetings at Casa Santa Marta and another together in which they spoke with the pope about the abuse they suffered, three of Chilean priest Fernando Karadima's victims explained their encounter with Pope Francis. <\/p>\n
JAMES HAMILTON Juan Carlos Cruz, James Hamilton and Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s Murillo assure the Holy Father was deeply moved when he asked them for forgiveness. After having met with him, they're convinced the pope had been given erroneous information on the Karadima case. <\/p>\n JUAN CARLOS CRUZ They also spoke with Pope Francis about the Chilean bishops, for whom they had strong words. They would like for the justice system to try two cardinals. <\/p>\n JAMES HAMILTON JUAN CARLOS CRUZ JOS\u00c9 ANDR\u00c9S MURILLO JUAN CARLOS CRUZ The victims appreciate the affection, the attention and, above all, Pope Francis' plea for forgiveness, but they want it to be followed by action. Their petitions are clear and blunt. <\/p>\n JOS\u00c9 ANDR\u00c9S MURILLO They say Pope Francis has assured them he will take action. For now, the first act was consulting with them. The Holy Father must now hear the version of the Chilean bishops, who will also come to Rome to tell their side. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 2, 2018. \u201cMy conclusion is that the pope was truly misinformed,\u201d says one of the abuse victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":23316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[210],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2eFRpAUpIAo","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bconfstapavittimeeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bconfstapavittimeint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49432"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe met a friendly face of the Church during these days, completely different from the one we met before. The pope formally asked for our forgiveness in his own name and that of the Universal Church.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cMy conclusion is that the pope was truly misinformed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe would love that. As soon as possible for Cardinal Err\u00e1zuriz, who we believe covered up abuse and we're even more sure today of his criminal action. The same with Cardinal Ezzati. We would love to send them all to prison.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cI told the pope that not only Msgr. Juan Barros but also Bishop Horacio Venezuela, Bishop Andr\u00e9s Arteaga and Bishop Tomislav Koljatic watched as Karadima touched and abused young people. The pope received that information.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cToday, the bishops are lobbying tremendously to save themselves from the pope's hand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe pope asked for forgiveness in the name of the Universal Church. The Episcopal Conference of Chile doesn't know how to ask for forgiveness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAbuse victim<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe ask the pope directly that he not falter with those who must be considered, not as guilty of a sin but of a crime and the deepest corruption found in society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
