Chile’s Catholic Church criticized over guidelines regarding sexual abuse
By Natalia A. Ramos Miranda (Reuters) - Chile's Roman Catholic Church was criticized by victims' groups on Monday as having "poor judgment" and being arrogant after it apologised for a manual published on the website of Santiago's archbishop instructing priests and other Church workers not to "touch the genitals of" or "sleep with" children. The document, posted last Thursday, provided guidelines for the interaction of church staff with the lay community and was signed by Santiago Archbishop Ricardo Ezzati, who is under investigation for allegedly covering-up abuse.
