Chilean abuse victims welcome pope’s letter, call for zero tolerance

James Hamilton, Jose Andres Murillo and Juan Carlos Cruz, victims of Father Fernando Karadima, released a statement April 11 saying they appreciated the pope’s letter and were “evaluating the possibilities” for meeting with the pope. “The damage committed by the hierarchy of the Chilean Church, to which the pope refers, has affected many people, not just us,” the victims said.
