After the sexual abuse cover-up scandal, 34 Chilean bishops signed a letter of resignation to the Pope. Whether he accepts or not is yet unknown.

First day of his visit to Chile, Pope Francis asked forgiveness for the "irreparable damage" done to children who were victims of clergy sex abuse.

Javier Soto, self-proclaimed pastor from Chile, insulted LGBT people on TV when he used a rainbow flag and put it under his feet. He didn’t realize that the flag was the wrong one —  it actually represented the city of Cusco, Peru. Soto called the rainbow cloth he stepped on “a filthy rag.” He said: “I’m cold on my feet, so we’re going to put a rug in. This is a rug that I use in the shows I’m doing. This is the filthy rag I’m going to put here to do the show. This is a filthy rag that I always use.”
