SEX ABUSE SCANDAL: ALL CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN CHILE OFFER THEIR RESIGNATION FOLLOWING SERIES OF SEX ABUSE

Total of thirty-one active bishops and three retired bishops in Chile in an unprecedented move have made public their intention to resign after a three-day emergency summit at the Vatican to discuss Chile's sex abuse scandal.
The summit was prompted after the Pope received a 2,300-page report detailing sexual abuses by priests in Chile.

The bishops said they tendered their resignation in relation to the scandal and place the issue "in the hands of the Holy Father so that he might freely decide for each one of us."

Vatican spokesman Greg Burke iterate he had no comments on whether Pope Francis would accept the mass resignation or not.

However, one bishop Juan Barros of Osorno was at the centre of the outcry allegedly for knowing and covering up the abuses.
The Pope had defended Bishop Barros, slamming the accusations against him "calumny"

The Pope admitted to have made "grave errors in judgment," and apologized to both the victims of the abuse and their families in a private meeting with three of Juan Barros' main accusers and asked for their forgiveness.

Marie Collins, a former member of the Pope's Commission for the Protection of Minors, said that the gesture was not enough.
Collins tweeted:

"No bishop removed -- all allowed to resign. Really nothing changes."
