Pope apologizes for word use

After criticizing his remarks about a case of abuse in South America, Pope Francis apologized for his choice of words.

Barros is accused of having protected a pedophile priest. This was what Francis had called 'defamation' last Thursday after he had first begged forgiveness in Chile for the sexual crimes of many clergymen. 'I have to apologize because the word' proof 'has made wounds. It has hurt many victims of abuse, 'said the Pope.

Many victims of abuse have no proof of what happened to them. 'Or maybe they do, but they are ashamed and suffer in silence', says Franciscus.
