"I apologize to them on the off chance that I hurt them without acknowledging it, however it was an injury that I delivered without importance to," he said. "It torments me in particular."
In the most recent curve to an adventure that has held Chile, Francis said Barros, who is blamed for securing a famous pedophile, would stay in his place in the ward of Osorno in light of the fact that there as of now was no trustworthy proof against him
Last Thursday, a Chilean correspondent figured out how to draw near the pope toward the finish of an occasion and yelled out an inquiry concerning Barros.
"The day I see evidence against Bishop Barros, at that point I will talk. There isn't a solitary bit of confirmation against him. It is all criticism. Is that unmistakable?" the pope answered in a mean tone.
His remarks were viewed as attempting to expel the validity of informers and was broadly reprimanded by casualties, their promoters and daily paper publications in Chile and the pope's local Argentina.
On Saturday, even Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston, a key ecclesiastical counsel, removed himself with an announcement saying the pope had caused "awesome torment".
SLAP IN THE FACE

Pundits DECRY DISMAL RECORD
Casualties bunch have scrutinized the pope's record on mishandle.
