Pope Francis received a victims letter in 2015 that graphically detailed sexual abuse at the hands of a priest and a cover-up by Chilean church authorities, contradicting the Popes recent insistence that no victims had come forward, the letters author and members of Pope Francis own sex- abuse commission have told The Associated Press.
The fact that Pope Francis received the eight-page letter, obtained by the AP, challenges his insistence that he has zero tolerance for sex abuse and cover-ups. It also calls into question his stated empathy with abuse survivors, compounding the most serious crisis of his five-year papacy.
The scandal exploded last month when Pope Francis trip to South America was marred by protests over his vigorous defence of Bishop Juan Barros, who is accused by victims of covering up the abuse by Fr Fernando Karadima. During the trip, Francis callously dismissed accusations against Barros as slander, seemingly unaware that victims had placed him at the scene of Karadimas crimes.
On the plane home, confronted by reporters, the Pope said: You, in all good will, tell me that there are victims, but I havent seen any, because they havent come forward.

This pope is to Catholics what Obunghole was to AmeriCANS!
Pope Francis - the House of Poor Decisions.
The good news is that Francis is just a pope, which means he’s completely replaceable.
Is the Pope a Satanic Jesuit? Yes, but the pope used to be catholic...
I did read one apologist stating Francis receives hundreds of letters and probably forgot this particular one.
Now the quandry. Who to believe?
“Is the Pope a Satanic Jesuit? Yes, but the pope used to be catholic...”
So did the Jesuits.
This marxist Pope is in a quandary.
His attempts to normalize homosexuality will lead to exactly the sort of pedophile abuse he is now being confronted with. He seems to understand that, but political ideology won’t allow it to be spoken about.
If the Pope doesnt remember a letter that detailed salacious details of sexual abuse, I wonder what the rest of his mail looks like?
The Pope LIED??
The sooner the better. Pope John Paul II stood against the Marxist in Poland and Russia, Francis caves in and lets the Chinese approve a Bishop before Francis will elevate Him. In other words, have Bishops who say nothing publicly about China’s human rights abuses.
It's confusing. I need to pray more. Fasting would be an excellent idea.
Scripture says "This kind can only be driven out by prayer and fasting."
