There has been no cover up by
Chile's Catholic church of the abuses committed by its most infamous
pedophile priest, the archbishop of Santiago said on Thursday.
Cardinal
Ricardo Ezzati spoke after testifying in a case brought against the
church by three victims of the Rev. Fernando Karadima. The Vatican
sanctioned Karadima in 2011 to a lifetime of penance and prayer for
having abused young boys. A Chilean judge later dismissed a criminal
case because the statute of limitations had expired, but she determined
the abuse allegations were truthful.
