Fernando Karadima

Karadima has been the face of the church's sex abuse scandal in Chile. In 2011, a Vatican tribunal found him guilty of sexually abusing dozens of minors.

The pope said it was only after he accused sexual abuse victims of slander and demanded proof of an alleged coverup that he realized his words were like "a slap in the face" to those who had suffered.

Pope Francis was stung by a sexual abuse scandal in Chile, where the Church is losing sway and people are embracing social norms opposed by the Vatican.
