VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis has warned he has “zero tolerance” for child sex abuse in the Catholic Church and revealed that three bishops are currently being investigated by the Vatican.
But the pope did not name names, and Vatican officials on Tuesday (May 27) declined to comment.
So who are the three bishops under Vatican investigation? The speculation is that the pope likely was referring to three clerics, including:
-Scottish Cardinal Keith O’Brien, who resigned in February 2013 on the eve of the conclave that elected Francis. O’Brien later admitted that “there have been times that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal.”Cardinal Keith O'Brien
ZPolish Archbishop Josef Wesolowski, who was accused of child abuse in Poland and during his period as papal nuncio in the Dominican Republic until his dismissal last August;
-Chilean Bishop Cristian Contreras, who has been accused of abuse by other priests in his diocese.
