A Chilean television station has aired a video that shows Pope Francis
defending a Santiago bishop whose opponents allege has covered up sexual
abuse by a notorious pedophile priest.
In the video, shot in May and broadcast on Friday by Chilean TV channel Mega, Francis blames "leftists" for a campaign against the bishop of Osorno, Monsignor Juan Barros. "Don't let yourselves be led by the noses, by the leftists who have plotted this," the pope says in the video, speaking to Chilean visitors at the Vatican. He noted that the allegations against Barros had been dismissed by a Chilean court.
