NAESC 2010

Well, obviously there are those who can interpret this situation as such, but can not stop having as a reference, what I mentioned above with respect to the imprint of the Chilean Catholic Church in the moral roots of our society. When events occurred complaint for sexual abuse of children by some priests and an American bishop, the effect of such occurrences in American society was as one of the many aftershocks that we had the earthquake in Santiago in the last month, ie almost imperceptible. The case of Legionnaires and Maciel Priest stalled deep into our society, not because there are complaints against Legionaries priests in our country but these have a tremendous influence through their colleges and universities in the Creole elites of our society and so and everything, regardless of whether the abuses were committed Maciel outside our borders, society felt as if they occurred within our own homes. The phenomenon of the Catholic Church is living in Chile and the world is not an isolated event or has no historical parallel, on the contrary, who are scholars of the History of the Church, they will know that this is not is more than a blizzard on the storms that survived past the Catholic Church. The work of Pope Ratzinger, has been rather to purge the Church in these allegations of priestly ministry and acts of improper or unethical conduct of some of its members, rather than to hide the facts, as his predecessor John accuses Paul II, in defense of its omission of some accusations that the leader of the Legionaries would have acted.
