14 priests stripped of duties in Chili on pedophilia case

Almaty. May 23. KazTAG - A Chilean bishop’s office in Rancagua has dismissed 14 priests suspected of covering up cases of child abuse by pedophile priest Fernando Karadima in 1980s and ’90s, report mass media sources.
"Fourteen priests no longer are allowed to carry out their duties... These priests have taken part in actions that may be civilian crimes as well as within the church," the bishop's office in the city of Rancagua said.
Nicknamed “the Family”, the group of priestly offenders committed sex abuses with young people including minors, churchgoer Elisa Fernandez told Channel 13 last week.
