💨 Abstract

Pope Francis's comment during a 2018 visit to Chile about a bishop accused of covering up abuse sparked the biggest crisis of his papacy, leading to a new path of accountability for the Catholic Church. Initially defending the bishop, Francis later commissioned an investigation, apologized to victims, and got the entire Chilean hierarchy to offer to resign, marking a significant midcourse correction.
