Pope Francis accuses sex abuse victims in Chile of slander
Pope Francis has accused victims of Chile's most notorious paedophile of slander - 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 Reverend Fernando Karadimas, such accusations against Mr Barros are "all calumny."
