Mexico City, May 19 (EFE).- The representative of Pope Francis in Mexico, Franco Coppola, admitted on Wednesday that members of the Catholic Church “covered up” cases of abuse by priests in the country for years, cases in which more than 271 priests have been accused or indicted.
“I seriously think that there were people who maliciously covered up things. I want to think that there were also people who covered up things without taking note how serious an act … was,” the nuncio said Wednesday in an interview with EFE at the apostolic nunciature in Mexico City.
