Chile summons Roman Catholic cardinal in sex abuse case

(26 Jul 2018) Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati faced protesters at the Cathedral of Santiago on Wednesday evening as he delivered Mass in the Chilean capital. Protesters held banners and placards inside the cathedral - and one man called for his resignation - a day after Ezzati was summoned to appear in a Chilean court as the scandal over sex abuse by priests and others tied to the country's Roman Catholic church widens. The archbishop's office said in a statement on Tuesday that Ezzati had been called to answer questions about his role in an alleged cover-up of abuse by Reverend Oscar Munoz, former chancellor of Santiago. Wednesday's Mass was Ezzati's first public appearance since he was summoned to testify. Munoz was arrested on 12 July and charged with sexually assaulting five children. Munoz has admitted to abusing at least one minor. Prosecutors, however, uncovered reports of at least four more victims abused by him that were documented by the Santiago archdiocese. Chilean prosecutors have expanded their investigations into alleged abuse, saying on Monday that they had looked into accusations of abuse or cover-up by 158 members of the church. The cases involved a total of 266 alleged victims. The nationwide figures follow an avalanche of sex abuse and cover-up cases that have recently embattled the church in Chile and prompted Pope Francis earlier this year to publicly denounce a "culture of abuse and cover-up". Prosecutors said the vast majority of the sexual abuse crimes were committed by parish priests connected to an educational establishment. There are at least five cases in which the heads of congregations or bishops in charge of a diocese are accused of cover-up or obstruction of an investigation.
