Fernando Karadima - had placed Barros at the scene of their abuse, and that their testimony had been deemed trustworthy enough for the Vatican to use it to sentence Karadima to a lifetime of penance and prayer for his perversions. \u003cbr/\u003e              Francis had previously accused \"leftists\" for mounting the opposition to Barros. \u003cbr/\u003e              After realizing something was amiss, Francis dispatched the Vatican's top sex abuse investigator to look into the accusations against Barros. \u003cbr/\u003e              After receiving his report, Francis issued a letter of apology to the victims, invited them to Rome and issued a stern warning to Chile's bishops, who have a history of discrediting victims, imposing minimal sentences on abusers or covering up for them entirely. \u003cbr/\u003e              In the letter, Francis admitted he made \"serious errors in judgment and perception\" about the Barros case, but he blamed a lack of \"truthful and balanced information\" for his missteps. \u003cbr/\u003e              Many Chileans have pointed the finger to the retired archbishop of Santiago, Cardinal Javier Errazuriz, who was Barros' superior for many years and is a top adviser of Francis. \u003cbr/\u003e              In emails, Errazuriz has referred to Cruz as a \"liar\" and a \"serpent\" out to destroy the Chilean Church. \u003cbr/\u003e              Barros, Hamilton and Murillo sued the archdiocese for having covered up Karadima's abuse; their case is on appeal. \u003cbr/\u003e              Cruz urged Francis to remove \"toxic\" leaders like Errazuriz, who this very week is in Rome attending one of Francis' regular meetings with his nine key cardinal advisers.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Rome, 24 April 2018\u003cbr/\u003e              1.

Yes, one thing is the toxic people, but at the same time understand if he wants to tell me why he listened to them, and he had to know because he's not, especially in the (Reverend Fernando) Karadima case, our case, he's not a pope from Ukraine, he's from Buenos Aires which is an hour and 40 (1.40 hours) flight, and we're very close, so what happens in Chile is known in Argentina, what happens there is known in Chile. So, it's really difficult to understand, you know, that this was an unknown. But I want to hear him. I want to talk to him. I want to listen to him, what he has to say.

Those people who have to go immediately are those bad bishops who covered up abuse: Barros, Valenzuela, Koljatic, Arteaga (Karadima-trained Bishops: Juan Barros, Horacio Valenzuela, Tomislav Koljatic and Andres Arteaga) have to go immediately. As I see it, the pope also has to send a signal from Chile for the rest of the world that this is no longer acceptable. And he also has to get rid of these toxic people he has surrounded himself with who misinform him. For example, Cardinal Errazurriz and Cardinal Ezzati, though Cardinal Errazuriz especially because he's on the council of nine cardinals who advise him. This is horrible.

This has to change, and it's what I'd like to see happen. With all due respect, I want to tell the pope that this isn't just about me. I have the good fortune to be here and to have this opportunity to be with him and speak with him.
