The key witness in the case of a Chilean bishop accused of covering sexual abuse said on Saturday (February 17) he gave “eye opening” testimony to a papal mandated investigator and hoped it would lead to the truth.
Juan Carlos Cruz met in a church on Manhattan's Upper West Side for about four hours with Archbishop Charles Scicluna, one of the most experienced and respected Vatican investigators of clergy sexual abuse.
The Vatican announced on Jan. 30 that Pope Francis had appointed Scicluna to look into accusations that Bishop Juan Barros of the diocese of Osorno in Chile had covered up crimes against minors.
