Pope francis has expressed what hes called his pain and shame over chiles Sexual Abuse Scandal another two churches have been attacked the latest in a spate of attacks on churches in chile approaches continue against the popes visit to were burned to the ground in southern chile early on tuesday the arson attacks came hours after pope francis arrived in the country a church in the capital was also attacked and pamphlets threatening the pope were left at the site. On America Newman joins us live from santiago whats the reaction been to the popes declaration was a surprise. It wasnt a surprise given that the the attention thats been placed on this ongoing crisis dealing with sexual abuses against minors in chile carried out by members of the church so he had to Say Something that was very clear and there was speculation that he would but we didnt think it would happen quite so soon he really when it was the first time he spoke at all and some people have applauded what hes had to say others say its too little too late but at his first mass there were certainly many many catholics there who are happy to see this pope. Actually in catholics and immigrants from many parts of latin america spent the night here for the chance to see pope francis up the popes never you never read them again it was worth it i love this pope because he underscores the need for social justice which our Political Parties have forgotten it says cloudy not be sad all. This is something large a spark and organizers calculated four hundred thousand people came to the popes first mass in chile less than half of the estimated one million who attended Pope John Paul the seconds mass here thirty one years ago during chiles military dictatorship but those were different times back then john pauls mass was interrupted when riot police began firing massive amounts of tear gas into the crowd to disperse those who are protesting against human rights abuses and calling for the popes support which they brought three decades on chileans are still thinking about abuses but this time those committed by the church. So pope francis wasted no time confronting the issue in his first address here at the president ial palace he asked for forgiveness for clerical sex abuses. Against innocent minors. Here i feel bound to express my pain and shame the irreparable damage caused to children by some ministers of the church. With my brother bishops. For forgiveness and make every effort to support the victims. Many will be holding him to his word. Forgiveness is necessary. No matter what. The mass the pope spoke of peace before leaving to meet women prisoners on tuesday hes in the most complex stop of his trip its the epicenter of a restive territorial dispute by indigenous is a place where chileans are hoping that his message of peace and reconciliation will be heard. Has also come in for criticism because hes not going to his own country argentina which is just next door. Absolutely this is the latin American Country that pope francis has gone to and the second one that actually shows a border with his with argentina his homeland at first arjun time said well you know we have to share him with the rest of the world but at this point theyre getting very very upset even bishops are coming out publicly saying that they are hurt and that they are angry and dont understand why the pope has quote abandoned them his arjun his fellow arjun times why he has actually over flown his country to land here and not stop there the reason has not been publicly known but loren but it probably its because the pope believes that he doesnt want to get involved in the current political spots taking place in argentina at the moment.
