The Pope defrauds other 2 Chilean priests accused of sexual abuse
Pope Francis took out on Saturday two other Chilean prelates accused of sexual abuse of minors, and to show greater transparency about how he is responding to the world crisis of sexual abuse of the church, the pontiff publicly explained why they were eliminated.
The unusually detailed Vatican statement announcing the laicization of José Cox Huneeus and Marco Antonio Ordenes Fernández pointed to a new degree of transparency after past mistakes that seemed to underestimate the seriousness of the scandal.
In explaining the recent retreats when the church in Chile is called to account for decades of sexual abuse and cover-ups, the statement made it clear that the two were expelled for abusing minors with evidence so overwhelming that a canonical trial was not necessary. .
Previously, the Vatican rarely, if ever, announced secularisations of individual priests and only issued a one-line statement if a bishop had resigned, without further explanation.
Advocates of survivors of abuse have long complained about the Vatican's secrecy in handling such cases of abuse and lack of transparency when they reached the sentences.
In fact, at the beginning of the papacy of Francis, the Vatican stopped giving information on the reasons why the bishops could resign, getting rid of their previous policy to at least reveal if it was because the bishops had turned 75 and were retiring, or for some other "serious" reason that made them unfit for the position.
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said Saturday's more detailed statement suggested a new trend in the way the Vatican will announce the results of investigations of bishops accused of abuse.
The issue of sexual abuse in the church emerged in a papal audience on Saturday with the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera Echenique, who also met with the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
The Vatican said that both meetings discussed "the painful scourge of child abuse, reiterating the efforts of all in collaboration to combat and prevent the commission of such crimes and their concealment."
