I diputado socialista Fidel Espinoza emplazó a la iglesia a remover al obispo Juan Barros de Osorno, quien ha sido cuestionado por su eventual papel como encubridor de los abusos cometidos por el ex párroco de la Iglesia de El Bosque, Fernando Karadima.
El parlamentario socialista reaccionó ante la guía que dio a conocer este miércoles la Conferencia Episcopal para tratar los abusos sexuales a menores.
