Particularly in juxtaposition to the Finn case. Bishop Finn was never accused of molestation; he was merely guilty of bad judgment in his handling of accusations against a priest in his diocese. Bishop Barros has been accused by molestation victims of pervertedly watching and covering up molestations.

"...Why is the Vatican staunchly defending Barros? Are victims of clergy sex abuse also victims of the powerful and mighty in the Vatican? Karadima’s victims report that allegations against Karadima were reported years before but were ignored by none other than the powerful Cardinal Errazuriz. Sound familiar? Cardinal Errazuriz is one of eight cardinals personally chosen by Pope Francis to serve on his key advisory panel. This is the same Cardinal Errazuriz that testified in court that he failed to act on several abuse allegations because he believed them to be untrue. Is this Francis’ idea of reform?
Despite his protestations, promises of reform, and splashy commissions, Pope Francis not only appoints bishops who cover up clergy abuse of children, but he also elevates them to his prestigious Council of 8..."
I had not heard of Cardinal Errazuriz’s connection to Karadima. Thank you for filling me in. Sickening! Have any of Karadima’s victims come out and spoken with a reporter on this?
I have begun to notice that Humble Jorge is too proud to admit that he has made any mistakes in his episcopal appointments, from the heretics in his Gang o’ Nine, to his delegates to the Sin-Nods, to Juan Barros, to the homo “housemother” of Sancta Marta. Once Francis appoints someone, it’s final. “There’s no going back”, just as he has referred to the TLM.
He has also never apologized for or corrected his numerous misstatements about the Catholic faith and the false notion of salvation outside the Catholic Church. Fr. Lombardi has been covering for his misstatements, more than Jay Carney ever did for Obama.
However, this pope has had no reservations in removing conservative/traditional-friendly bishops from their offices, if they were appointed by one of his predecessors, for the slightest true or false accusations from the wolves in the Church.
Francis is a Jesuit and their ranks are infested with homosexuals and have been for years. They are also the absolute worst male religious congregation for ignoring Catholic Church teachings.
