Barros submitted his resignation to Pope Francis alongside every other active bishop in Chile at the close of a May 15-17 meeting between the pope and Chilean prelates, during which Francis chastised the bishops for systematic cover-up of abuse throughout the country.
Francis had summoned the bishops of the country to Rome following an in-depth investigation and report into the Chilean clerical abuse crisis carried out by Maltese Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Msgr. Jordi Bertomeu of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in February, resulting in a 2,300 page report on the scandal.

>"Chile authorities raid Episcopal Conference in abuse probe"
>SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Chilean authorities raided the headquarters of the Catholic Church's Episcopal Conference on Tuesday as part of a widespread investigation into sex abuse committed by members of the Marist Brothers order in the South American country, prosecutors said.
>The raids by investigating prosecutors and Chile's equivalent of the FBI took place at one of the most important buildings of the Chilean church in the capital of Santiago. Investigating prosecutor Raul Guzman, who confirmed the raid, is probing more than 35 accusations of abuse committed against former students at schools run by the Marists, who are religious brothers, not priests.
>Guzman told local news media that investigators were collecting information to help identify victims.
>After leaving the Episcopal Office headquarters, the investigators went to the offices of the Marist order and also collected information there, according to Alejandro Pena, an attorney for the order. He said he hoped the action would help resolve the case.
>In a statement sent to The Associated Press, seven of the complainants said, "We feel profound satisfaction at seeing the advance of investigations needed to do justice."
>They noted that there had been suspicions of attempts to destroy or hide documents - an allusion to a previous raid on a diocese where investigators found church workers trying to destroy documents.
>An activist group that documents clerical abuse praised Tuesday's raids.
>"The impunity of the Chilean hierarchy has ended. In Chile, we're seeing what happens when the Catholic church is treated as an ordinary corporate citizen," said Anne Barrett Doyle of the online abuse database BishopAccountability.org.
>"Prosecutors in Chile have raised the bar for civil authorities in other countries. The children of Chile will be safer, survivors more likely to find justice, and the church ultimately stronger."
>The Marists operate in dozens of countries around the world. The scandal in Chile came to light in August 2017, when the order revealed that at least 14 minors were abused from the 1970s until 2008 by Abel Perez, a brother who worked at two of the order's schools, and it reported him to prosecutors. Then it acknowledged that another Marist sexually abused five students.
>But many Chileans were outraged when the order admitted that Perez had confessed in 2010 - seven years earlier. Victims have also filed a criminal complaint against three Catholic priests, a Capuchin brother and six Marists. In that complaint and in interviews with The Associated Press, they have recounted numerous abusive encounters.
>Pope Francis sent the Vatican's leading expert on clerical sex abuse, Archbishop Charles Scicluna, to investigate allegations against Bishop Juan Barros, who was accused by victims of witnessing their abuse and ignoring it, as well as allegations of abuse involving the Marist Brothers, Salesian and Franciscan orders.
>After receiving the report, the pope denounced a "culture of abuse and cover-up" in Chile's Catholic Church and said he was ashamed that neither he +nor Chilean church leaders truly ever listened to victims as the abuse scandal spread.
>Last week, however, victims were disappointed when Francis said in letter to the Chilean church's Episcopal Conference that he was "impressed by the reflection, discernment and decisions" taken by bishops after they recently met to discuss the avalanche of scandals.
>Chilean prosecutors also recently summoned the archbishop of Santiago, Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati, to appear in court and testify about the alleged cover-up of years of abuse.
>In May, 31 bishops offered their resignation to the pope. So far Francis has accepted the resignations of five.

Pope Francis accepts resignation of Chilean bishop accused of covering up child abuse
Pope Francis accepted the resignation of three bishops on Monday, one of whom was accused of covering up part of the child sex abuse scandal in Chile.
The Holy See confirmed that the pope accepted the resignations of Bishop Juan Barros of Osorno, Bishop Gonzalo Duarte of Valparaiso and Bishop Cristian Caro of Puerto Montt.
Bishop Barros was accused of protecting the Rev. Fernando Karadima, who was found guilt of sexual abusing minors.
The bishop denied ever having knowledge of Father Karadima's behavior.
The pope initially stood by Bishop Barros, but then later said he had made "grave errors in judgment" about the bishop, The Associated Press reported.
Bishop Duarte and Bishop Caro both resigned because they reached the required retirement age for bishops.
The news comes as the Roman Catholic Church continues investigations into child sex abuse claims in several countries. A probe into sexual abuse claims and the church's handling of the situation in Pennsylvania could be public by the end of June, AP reported.

Q Research General #2136: Stormy Forecæst
Pope begins purge in Chile's Catholic Church over sex abuse scandal
By Associated Press
Jun 11, 2018 | 4:45 AM
| VATICAN CITY
Pope Francis accepted the resignation Monday of the bishop at the center of Chile's clerical sex abuse scandal and two others, launching a purge of a Catholic Church that has lost its credibility under an avalanche of accusations of abuse and cover-up.
A Vatican statement said Francis had accepted the resignations of Bishop Juan Barros of Osorno, Bishop Gonzalo Duarte of Valparaiso and Bishop Cristian Caro of Puerto Montt. Of the three, only the 61-year-old Barros is below the retirement age of 75.
Francis named temporary leaders for each of the dioceses.
Barros has been at the center of Chile's growing scandal ever since Francis appointed him bishop of Osorno in 2015 over the objections of the local faithful, his own sex abuse prevention advisors and some of Chile's other bishops. They questioned Barros' suitability to lead given he had been a top lieutenant of Chile's most notorious predator priest and had been accused by victims of witnessing and ignoring their abuse.
Barros denied the charge, but he joined 30 of Chile's other active bishops in offering their resignations to Francis at an extraordinary Vatican summit last month. Francis had summoned Chile's church leaders to Rome after realizing he had made "grave errors in judgment" about Barros, whom he had defended strongly during his troubled visit to Chile in January.
Barros' removal, which had been expected, was met with praise by abuse survivors and Catholics in Osorno, who warned, though, that more resignations and actions must follow to heal the devastation wrought by the scandal.
"A new day has begun in Chile's Catholic Church!" tweeted Juan Carlos Cruz, the abuse survivor who denounced Barros for years and pressed for the Vatican to take action.
"I'm thrilled for all those who have fought to see this day," he said. "The band of delinquent bishops … begins to disintegrate today."
Francis realized he had misjudged the Chilean situation after meeting with Cruz and reading the 2,300-page report compiled by two leading Vatican investigators about the depth of Chile's scandal, which has devastated the credibility of the church in a once overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country in the pope's native Latin America.

A continuation of the Pope's Bad May:
BREAKING - Scandal: A Bishop "Married" with Children Will Be Created Cardinal by Francis (Exclusive in English):
Source: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2018/05/breaking-scandal-bishop-married-with.html
Summary: Retired Bolivian Bishop Toribio Ticona, who Pope Francis will raise to the Cardinalate on June 29 is reported to have a concubine (who he either is civilly married to or living more uxorio ("in the manner of spouses")) and illegitimate children. This is reported to have been a "well-known fact" even prior to his retirement. Ticona, 81, is already past voting age for a Conclave, thus this elevation is merely honorary. (Anon commentary: This means that there would be no expectation on Francis to elevate him.)
This South American scandal is in addition to the ongoing pedophilia scandal in Chile where Fr. Juan Barros was promoted to Bishop of Osorno despite accusations that Barros directly witnessed abuse allegedly perpetrated by his friend, Fr. Fernando Karadima. Francis had received a letter from Karadima's alleged victim, and initially publicly dismissed it as "slander" (https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/02/pope-francis-letter-scandal-pope-informed-Barros-allegations/)

Q Research General #1971 God Bless Our Fallen Warriors Edition
Some are saying that the Chilean bishops were FORCED TO RESIGN, however this isn't entirely true. The 31 or 34 bishops all signed a document offering their resignations, HOWEVER, it is up to the Vatican whether or not to accept EACH or IN TOTAL.
Each of these links is quite interesting and worth reading.
Here is the background which begins in 1984 when Karadima (who people called "a saint") was first reported to authorities in the church.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_sexual_abuse_cases_in_Chile#Karadima
Father Fernando Karadima (born 6 August 1930) was a spiritual leader and father figure for young men from Santiago's social elite. He was based in the "Parroquia El Bosque", which serves some of Santiago's wealthiest and most influential families. His connections extended to officials in the military government of Gen. Augusto Pinochet and to the papal nuncio to Chile, Angelo Sodano, who became a cardinal and Vatican Secretary of State in 1991. Karadima was a dynamic leader, described as "Impeccably dressed and with perfectly groomed nails and slicked-back hair", who "cut an aristocratic figure, appealing to both young and old in Chile's elite."[1][2]
In 1984 a group of parishioners reported "improper conduct" on the part of Karadima to Juan Francisco Fresno, Archbishop of Santiago de Chile.[a] One of them later told a court that he learned that their letter was "torn up and thrown away".[3] Fresno's secretary at the time was one of Karadima's protégés, Juan Barros.

—- notes at the side:
To confront the church's policy of covering up the sexual abuse by priests, victims in Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Peru created a network called Unidos (United).
In February 2014, the United Nations accused the Vatican of violating the Convention of the Rights of the Child, because of the sexual abuse committed by its priests.
—-
SANTIAGO, Mar 20 2015 (IPS) - Victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Latin America are taking the first steps towards grouping together in order to bolster their search for justice - a struggle where they have found a new ally: filmmaking.
"Besides entertaining us, movies urge people not to forget, to memorise what is happening to us as a society," Chilean filmmaker Matías Lira told IPS.
He added that, with respect to the sexual abuse committed within the Catholic Church, "the media has a pending task, and society has a duty."
Based on this premise, Lira directed "Karadima's Forest", based on real events. The film, which comes out in Chile in April, tells the story of a priest who sexually and psychologically abused dozens of boys and young men, and who was one of the country's most influential priests thanks to his enormous charisma and his reputation as a "saint" - which was even his nickname.
The film comes after "The Club", by Pablo Larraín, winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in February, which also tackles the question of pedophile priests in Chile.
Karadima's horrific abuse came to light in May 2010, when Cruz and other victims recounted what they had suffered on the weekly programme Informe Semanal of the public TV station Televisión Nacional (TVN)
"When they named Pope Francis, we felt that in the Vatican we had someone from home, someone who spoke our own language, who understood our culture; it was an enormous source of pride. But the first victims he met with were from the United State, Germany and Great Britain; he never met with us," said Cruz.

On the eve of two years since the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith began the administrative penal process against the priest Fernando Karadima in the Vatican, CIPER delivers to its readers two extracts from the book "The Secrets of the Empire of Karadima" illustrated with photos unpublished of the trips of the priest by Europe.
The book "The Secrets of the Empire of Karadima" is the result of an alliance between the School of Journalism of the Diego Portales University, Editorial Catalonia and CIPER. It is currently in its fourth edition.
More brutal was the case of Juan Esteban Morales, whom he took on a trip to Europe in 1985, when his father had fallen into jail for debt. To Juan Esteban, like the other young people he made his favorites, Karadima had ordered him to say "Papa."

Q Research General #1840: NIGHT CREW=BEST CREW Edition
Checkin in late anons. Has this been covered yet? Mass resignations.
http:// www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44169484
All of Chile's 34 Roman Catholic bishops have offered Pope Francis their resignations in the wake of a child sex scandal and cover-up.
They asked forgiveness from victims and the Church for their "grave errors and omissions".
It was not immediately clear whether the Pope had accepted the resignations.
He had been criticised in Chile for his decision to ordain a bishop who is accused of covering up sexual abuse committed by a priest.
He said in January that he felt "pain and shame" over the scandal, which has rocked the Catholic Church in Chile.
Pope meets sex abuse victims in Chile
Pope 'slander' comment angers abuse victims
It is the first time that all the top churchmen in a country have offered to leave their posts like this.
What is the scandal about?
The upset centres on Bishop Juan Barros, who is accused of using his position in the Catholic Church to try to block an investigation into his mentor, Catholic priest Fernando Karadima.
Fr Karadima was an influential priest who was found guilty by the Vatican of sexually abusing young boys in the 1970s and 80s and sentenced to a lifetime of "penance and prayer".
He never faced criminal prosecution in Chile as too much time had passed, but the judge who heard victims' testimony in a year-long investigation described them as "truthful and reliable".
Pope Francis appointed Bishop Barros three years ago despite the cover-up allegations. He is not accused of carrying out abuse himself.
Bishop Barros has repeatedly offered to resign
The bishop has repeatedly offered his resignation to the Pope, but it has been rejected several times as he was believed to be innocent of the accusations. This time, it is thought his offer to quit will be accepted.
The Pope was widely criticised in January when he defended Bishop Barros during a visit to Chile, saying the allegations against him should be classed as "slander" until proven otherwise.
He told a Chilean journalist: "The day they bring me proof against Bishop Barros, then I will speak. There is not a single piece of proof against him. Everything is slander. Is this clear?"
Days later, the Pope apologised for hurting the victims of clerical sex abuse through his comments, saying the knowledge "pains me very much". At the end of January, he sent the Vatican's top expert on sexual abuse to Chile to investigate accusations, citing new information.
Why did all the bishops offer to quit?
The bishops offered their resignation by letter after three days of crisis talks at the Vatican, during which the Pope handed them a 10-page document accusing Chile's Church hierarchy of negligence in sex abuse cases.
Some of the Vatican investigator's findings were included in the report, according to Chile's T13 television, which acquired a leaked copy.
In it, the Pope said he felt ashamed that people had been pressured not to fully investigate abuse allegations.
"We are all involved, myself in first place, and no one can be exempted by looking to shift the problem onto the backs of others," the Pope reportedly wrote.
The bishops have said they want to help repair the damage caused
In their letter, the bishops wrote that their individual futures were in the Pope's hands, and if he did not accept their resignations, they would "continue doing our pastoral work".
"In communion with [the Pope] we want to re-establish justice and contribute to repairing the damage caused," they wrote.
How have victims responded?
"This will change things forever," tweeted Juan Carlos Cruz, who was abused by Fr Karadima in the 1980s.
José Andrés Murillo, another victim, said Pope Francis should accept the mass resignation offer.
"They did not know how to protect the weakest, exposed them to abuses, and then prevented justice," he wrote on Twitter.
"That's why they all deserve to go."

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Francis on Thursday ended his emergency summit with Chile's bishops by thanking them for their "full willingness" to do whatever it takes to recover from a sex abuse and cover-up scandal that has discredited the church.
Francis bid farewell to each of the 34 Chilean bishops amid indications that heads will roll after four days of meetings and prayer. Vatican television showed the bishops thanking Francis as they took their leave. The only one Francis is shown kissing on each cheek and patting on the arm was Bishop Juan Barros, who is at the center of the scandal.

Vatican City - Chile's Catholic bishops said Monday they were open to whatever Pope Francis proposes to overhaul the Chilean church, including the removal of bishops, reforms of seminaries and paying financial reparation to victims of a clergy sex abuse and cover-up scandal.
Representatives of the Chilean bishops conference told reporters they were heading into three days of meetings with Francis humbled, pained and shamed for their own errors in handling abuse cases. They said they wanted to listen to Francis and would follow his lead in asking forgiveness of the victims they had discredited.
A conference spokesman, Bishop Juan Ignacio Gonzalez, said "it's possible" some bishops would offer to resign, but that it was up to the pope. "We'll respect what he says. If he asks, we'll do it."
Francis summoned the bishops to Rome for an emergency summit after receiving a 2,300-page report on the abuse cover-up scandal, which he had helped fuel. During a visit to Chile in January, Francis strongly defended a bishop, Juan Barros, who was accused by victims of Chile's most notorious predator priest of having witnessed and ignored their abuse.
Francis acknowledged he made "grave errors of judgment" in the case and blamed a "lack of truthful and balanced information" for his missteps.
Chile's bishops have insisted they provided Francis with correct information, and they declined Monday to go into detail about who knew what and when.
Gonzalez, the conference spokesman, was among Barros' strong defenders. He said as recently as January that the accusations against Barros were politically motivated and devoid of proof.
On Monday, Gonzalez said he stood by Barros because his "brother felt hurt, alone, a bit abandoned," and that any good Catholic would have done the same.
Victims of the Rev. Fernando Karadima have described the pain and anguish they felt over the support afforded Barros, whom they placed at the scene of their abuse.
Barros and two other Karadima-trained bishops are widely expected to resign. But the scandal has tainted other bishops, including one of Francis' top advisers, the retired archbishop of Santiago.
Gonzalez and the secretary general of the conference, Bishop Fernando Ramos, said it was clear that changes were necessary in the Chilean church. They said the seminary training Chilean priests receive needs to include courses on child protection.

"Pope Francis has announced the renewal of the Church's panel tasked with combating sexual abuse of children, in the wake of a fresh controversy.
The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors is made up of eight men and eight women - nine of which are new members.
Its original three-year mandate expired in December.
In recent weeks, Pope Francis has been under fire for his defence of a bishop accused of witnessing sexual abuse.
During his trip to Chile in January, he told journalists that in the case of Bishop Juan Barros: "There is not a single piece of proof against him. Everything is slander. Is this clear?"
His remarks offended some of the victims of Fernando Karadima. They said Bishop Barros was present while Karadima molested them decades ago - and did nothing.
Karadima was relieved of his duties by the Vatican in 2011 - but Juan Barros was installed as a bishop in 2015, amid protests.
The pope later apologised for the tone of his answer, saying he felt "pain and shame" - while maintaining he did not have enough evidence to "convict" Bishop Barros. He was met by protesters in Santiago."

Pope shocks Chile by accusing sex abuse victims of slander
BY NICOLE WINFIELD
Today
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Pope Francis accused victims of Chile's most notorious pedophile of slander Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country.
Francis said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up the sex crimes of the Rev. Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are "all calumny."
The pope's remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They noted the accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of "penance and prayer" for his crimes in 2011. A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn't lacking.
