How bad is it?” That was the question a friend put to me, à propos the leadership crisis in the Catholic Church.

Karadima’s victims claim one of their abuser’s protégés, Juan Barros – ordained bishop in 1995 and appointed by Pope Francis to head the diocese of Osorno, Chile, in 2015 – witnessed the abuse they suffered at Karadim
