Protesters in Chile are not impressed with the Pope's apology. They say it is unfair that he is choosing to believe the bishop over victims.
Juan Carlos Claret is the spokesperson for the parishioners of Osorno, who have repeatedly asked for the bishop's resignation.
Reacting to the Pope's recent comments, he said: "The Pope is now saying that he refused the bishop's resignation twice because he thinks that [it] will show that he is guilty. That makes the Pope responsible for the misery that we are suffering."
He added: "[The Pope] asks for evidence, but the victims have testified - isn't that enough for him? He apologises to us but now we need to see action. Sorry isn't good enough. Barros must resign."
Across the country, a cartoon - by Chilean satirist Guillo - is now circulating through social media. It shows the Pope saying, "To believe in us you have to have faith. But if you want us to believe in you - you must bring me evidence".
