Chile: an institutional response to clerical abuse

Religious institution · Institutional response
Source record: 2018-05-18

Institutional statement · historical record

Vatican News reported that Chilean bishops offered their resignations after meetings about the abuse crisis and asked forgiveness for mistakes and omissions affecting victims.

Sources, context & limits

An offer to resign is not an acceptance of every resignation or a criminal conviction. Vatican News is an institutional source; its account should be read with that relationship in mind.

Before sharing identifying details, ask about confidentiality, mandatory reporting, costs and language support. For urgent danger or medical needs, use local emergency services if safe.

You can seek support without submitting an account to us. A local advocate can explain medical care, evidence preservation, independent advice and available reporting routes. Ask which conversations are confidential and which may trigger reporting duties, especially if you are under 18.

Reporting to police, an employer or an institution is different from sharing with this editorial team. Laws, deadlines and procedures depend on your location. We do not automatically contact authorities or institutions.

Write in the language most comfortable for you. Translation and response time are not guaranteed. Private follow-up needs only your receipt key; email is optional. Do not upload confidential evidence here.
