protests in nicaragua against the president continue and the number of those killed rises. someone throws them so they will no matter what they have to crash into the ball of reality that usually gets. sent here america's ortega's former vice president talks to al jazeera. i have the ok and you're in the stream today we examine the growing sexual abuse scandal within the catholic church in chile i really could be allowed to ask whether the church is doing enough to ensure survivors get justice and how it can prevent future cases of mistreatment during the conversation via twitter and our you tube shop. the catholic church is mired in a sexual abuse scandal that is now under the lens of special prosecutor is just

a few hours ago authorities raided the headquarters of the chilean bishops conference it's part of an investigation into at least thirty eight cases of abuse allegedly committed by catholic clergy members survivors say the church sought to actively cover up the report and in some cases simply moved alleged offenders to different diocese activists within the lay community have responded angrily to the church's handling of the allegations in one case a protest to storm santiago cathedral to demand the resignation of archbishop ricardo exactly he's on the investigation for allegedly covering up reports of abuse and he's going to testify in court next week earlier this month chilean bishops pleaded for forgiveness for their handling of the abuse allegations the president of the bishops conference pledged to cooperate with investigators have a look. we would like to humbly recognize that we have failed and i would priests for not listening believing tending to and supporting the victims of these

grave sins and injustices committed by priests and other religious authorities. but beyond apologies how can the church reform itself to combat sexual abuse by the clergy for more on this we're joined from santiago chile by jose and. he is director of the un's our foundation for trust the group provides help and support to survivors of sexual abuse from dublin we have marty colleen she is chief executive of the money collins foundation which works to support children who suffered sexual abuse online she's also a former member of the pontiff a core commission for the protection of minus augustine what it is a jesuit priests and he joins us from santiago and in brussels we have sound as she is a professor of theology at the catholic university of chile hello everybody money when people look at this story they may well be thinking of the scandal in the catholic

church this time in chile way what different about this one mari. the different pope this one are think because the pope. after a visit to the country made some very derogatory and scathing remarks about the victims. and then had to apologize. it really brought the attention of the world on chile. quote has happened is in chile is horrific but my belief is that we have the same thing in so many of the country if we look at what is happening in chile. victims coveralls abusers being protected it's a passion that repeats and repeats and repeats and the apologies repeat and repeat listening to the apology there in chile reminded me of apologies that i heard here in ireland. twenty years ago and we heard them in america we heard them in

australia we've heard them in country after country but the situation in chile is really an example all of what is happening in so many countries but it is such a clear example and i think the fact that the police are going in that. you know the local authorities are taking action that has to happen more because if the church are not going to do it properly with this abuse of vulnerable adults and children then the state whatever state maybe has to step in and do it because it's come to the point now where we can't trust the church to do it tomorrow i shipping talking i've been saying songs i know they sound or what's behind that knowledge. well i think that's. the question our. institutional structure is working is that is the biggest point that is behind i

mean there is a kind of. relationships that are a significant ones that are being made in this crisis year. are are creating this peace and direct for the future do. to increase i mean it's a kind of relationship that are being in crisis right at this moment in my opinion . but the fact that the pope is being taken on this chilean case in his sole hands. has to do with two thinks on the one hand that the chilean church are on the team and authorities. where are unable simply unable to to take. issue. and to solve the problem and to really care about what what was going on. and on

the other hand if. it is telling us about how centralized the church become church were why if if it's being right at this moment if the parent doesn't care about what is happening in all the local churches the problem maybe will never be in the soul. jose i'm wondering what you think at this point in the conversation because we got this tweet from someone name monica she says her son no is a small and quiet city where bishop was appointed despite accusations of him covering up sexual abuse there were big protests and she says the pope called no and habitants fools though that it's not an exact quote she says it was sad though to see how the pope allowed to deeply divide the city where i grew up jose can you

relate to what she's saying here. i'm part of the group who accused. the. of a priest named father because he my very powerful. very powerful priest in t.v. who was in. quest protected by by different the authorities and especially of he was protected by the couple the church in i.o.t. and we started up a struggle against not only against. a father who abused be group of teenagers but especially we accused the church of cover cover up this case and when when we started this when we started this. fight against

a culture of abuse and cover up in the church. the pope came to t.v. and. the pope told us it was it was of very a very hit the maybe heavy word against us against us is enough that we were lawyers. about this case and the case of covering up and protecting the kind of. part of one another important. bishop called bottles who was to be shipped in this field or so to know it were this person telling the pope divided them you know so not telling them that they were. left wing and friendly. to the people and after after those war to the polls i don't know. the problem yes the pub realized that

he he was committed i missed a very big mistake and he invited us to talk to him. and to here is that not only to get to two to give. us forgiveness but to hear from our part some suggestions no we spend one week in the house with him talking about some recommendations i'm talking about this culture of abuse sexual abuse especially. this i know this. is the first time but but but we we tried to highlight the concept of cover up so cover up is us serious. harm. harmful is.

the abuse itself right and so on. has a my come back changed in just a moment because i want to bring in the father into the conversation father you in santiago and i want to show our viewers this scene from santiago in july when protesters took over the cathedral i want you to actually look at this video have a look right now i don't see must resign we must redeem many sins and he is a high official the church is consecrated staff have much more responsibility before god but also before the people of chile and before the crimes that have been committed with the chills you'll give it you're going to. but i'm just wondering what it's like to be a catholic priest a jesuit priest in chile right now what is the mood like. i think we're going through one of the divas crisis in the chilean history of o two

and it's not easy to be a priest today and many of us feel deep sorrow and deep pain especially for what victims have suffered i feel people like. this will be your current on and. it will be interesting who will scoff i feel they have been many many of us many priests feel they have been real heroes because they have gone through a great struggle to to be heard and to to be believed and one of the greatest sins we have listened to specially day in our bishops is that they were not able to listen to him and it was a press which listened to them and maybe this possible that truth came out

so i think they have done us a great a great contribution if it and we feel very very ashamed of what as a church what we have done and i think we're going through this deep crisis which after a very prestigious church during the dictatorship we had in the seventy's hundred seventy three july one thousand nine hundred eighty nine we had an dictatorship in which the church had a great and fearless struggle in trying to to defend the human rights and then has gone down very fast because it hasn't been able to to keep up here with a bit. surgeries are on the list i just because some pick up some of something you said you spoke about the the spin of the church leadership the bishops not being

able to deal with the situation but surely that's not really reflective of a plus that was happening it wasn't and that they were not able to if they weren't willing to do this and this is what's happening around the world there are a bishops church leaders who are not willing to deal with abuses in the proper way and by protecting an abuser you facilitate their further abuse because they can continue abusing if you don't stop them and what is that in the call i'd like to ask you a question what is the culture of the church structure of the church that causes these men in these hierarchy to a position to to be able to do this when it's all previous to everybody that what is happening is that crying and crying that they're colluding with it's not their sinning they are actually colluding with the crime and then there's

a whole difference there between. not being able to do something and nothing will do it. i would like to say something. in my life. a little complicated i have. been. i have i have been a priest a very empathic. priest. i think there east a kind of a struggle within the church. there's a culture of abuse of coverup. in in in that period and i think people know are within but but but but but they have their might make of things that you are very good with this and what we think from from from is from the church why you are not taking the control of the church you the good people the

good priest where you are not taken the control. you are not taken away but it bishops' under but priests who are abusing and corrupt as a marine you asked to amazing questions father i'm going to give you a chance to actually respond to both of those go ahead. well first of all the way you're straining report. on one abused their occupation and what i see what happened in history is similar as what has happened in chile and other countries it has taken a very very long suffering time to realize that it child abuse it's not a sin it's a crime it's taken a very long time for him and it's on on another side also it's important to realize that the bishops we actually have. it up be ships that were

looked at by rome and were there many of them with a profile up with a very common genius profile or very conservative people of their strip with a very strict on liturgy and moral and central mormon but no not really possible leaders so i think that there is a responsibility in the election of these bishops in which a lot of laypeople have not been listens many communities have not been listen and and and the attention of people is that i feel many of them didn't have the abilities for leadership of a parish and many of those incurred in interviews a power i let something possible. i agree with with you. i would also like.

point out that when it comes to the education the theological impossible. for the future minister it's very secure like like you are what is related with the power the. the power in the church. the way they are going to be all we we we are man we have a child etc now so in this way i think. they started me off making a kind all. professional ethics all for their leadership in the church under you know and. also you know. off of them because as they are not all of the bishops passed i mean we are talking about the priest i mean internet our minister

a city there she's under i agree agree with you and i and i do pull personally. to to change or to ask. or to question to question the way to understand the power the way to understand women the role of the women in in the church because they think that the sexual abuse child sexual abuse in church is abuse of power and you cannot understand the sexual abuse without understanding to understand the use the pathological use of power in the church was a i was i want to jump in here because a i mean i know you're right in that and i think our community agrees with you and it's something that that idea really is permeating beyond just as i want to bring in here i want to bring in our online community because they're watching the same want to be part of this conversation as well so this is

a hashtag that was brought to our tension this is church too in this really just goes to show that this is beyond chili. as i mentioned this is a global conversation this hash tag in particular is gaining traction after eight mother jones for porter here in the u.s. opens up about sexual abuse the chief face within an evangelical church and more people are going sharing their stories but there are members of our community it's wow who say within the last two weeks this is bubbled up and lots of places around the world have a listen to ten lennon recently we seen in chile were the civil society the police's church offices we've seen that also going to michigan we also are seeing in the state of pennsylvania. the report of the grand jury which examined six diocese which showed three hundred predator priests and systematic and historic cover up by church authorities in pennsylvania we find we can't rely on

the church. that we need civil society to examine that children need to be protected. and church officials are more interested in their reputations and protecting children. so mari ten here is the president of an organization called survivors network of those abused by priests and he's also a survivor of clergy sexual abuse from south but what i want you to pick up on is he says we can't rely on the church anymore we have to rely on civil society and you were a former member of a papal a group looking into this and you're not anymore what do you make of his comments and i would like to mention here that i am a survivor also. and that's the reason that i got involved in the whole issue in the first place because in my own case my abuser protected. we don't longer can trust because the church has shown it has had nearly three decades since this issue first came to the fore in countries came here in ireland

in the ninety's nine hundred ninety s. in america in the early two thousand we've had report after report showing all saying the same thing concluding the same thing that the church protected its reputation before it protected children had the chance to change that and do something about it i was three years on the pontifical commission active in the minors which was there to advise pope francis on what he could do to change things to protect children better look after survivors and we recommended and accountability tribunals which would bring bishops to those bishops that did not protect children who covered up for abuse. they would be brought before this trial properly disciplined sanctioned for their behavior on the crimes and the pope francis approved stuff but when it went to the congregation for the doctrine

of faith which is like a civil service they were out to implement this put this into operation they refused. and we produced guidelines a policy document which used to be global every church in the world was all of which protect children better and they didn't either then if you're. not in saudi let me ask you this then because this is interesting what's happening in chile which is civil law is taking place right now so we have a very well known prosecutor and obvious case of investigating these cover ups of sexual abuse by the catholic church in chile this is what he says as he's been doing his investigation have a look nor will i can concrete only refer to a specific thing or document or seizure but we found evidence of the destruction of documents and that aside from being circumstantial evidence of a cover up itself that's also a crime that could be a crime of concealment or of destruction of information from us

a father could this announcement exactly i'll i hear that and we see this on the news every day there's a headline right now about the catholic church an abuse cases that is not in chile not about chile but father the idea of. catholic priests either covering up or being accused and found guilty of abuse then going to prison is that a possibility that that's civil law not canon law are you comfortable that of course is. guilty and there are. some priests that have gone have gone to jail are actually in jail and i think also that the bishops. are there. to to. to to face this is the law in this. mary i would like to ask you something. you know where i mean

since you are a farmer. we have less than one minute left to make this quick i really fast yeah fast as you can the question the question is that if you can clear about the credibility of the church. i think in my opinion one of the question sanjay i was going to be at the end of the show if there was the question is that the question of course that it would help tanami of the catholic church will work still to in the in the case at all to work it will only work if those of the top. characters in is killing the church and if those at the top will only agree that this is an issue they must deal with that they cannot rely on power prestige and position anymore they have to behave as thank you mari. thank you jose thank you father and reading appreciate you being part of this program today we continue always online at a.j. stream on twitter take everybody. yes

products as the lira steadies decades of sexual abuse by priests revealed in the u.s. investigators believe the victims could be in the thousands and behold the grail of shipwrecks at the center of a dispute between colombia's government and treasure hunters. rescue workers in italy are searching for survivors in the wreckage of a highway bridge that collapsed in the city of genoa at least twenty five people were killed and many others injured when the miranda bridge came down these are live pictures from the scene the accident happened during heavy rains sending vehicles plunging to the ground it's an industrial area on a main highway that connects italy to france reports. from the air the scale of the devastation is clear a huge section of geno's marandi bridge simply government. where.
