Jorge Mario Bergoglio was archbishop of Buenos Aires from 1998 to
2013 and president of the Argentine bishops’ conference from 2005 to
2011. During these years, as church officials in the US and Europe began
addressing the catastrophe of child sexual abuse by clergy – and even
as Popes John Paul II and Benedict made public statements – Bergoglio
stayed silent about the crisis in Argentina.
He released no documents, no names of accused priests, no tallies of accused priests, no policy for handling abuse, not even an apology to victims.
