Chilean Bishops Take The Lead And Should Be Followed And Words From Papal Nuncio Christophe Pierre

Quoted from Catholic News Service  on Twitter [1]:

#PopeFrancis accepted the resignations of 2 more Chilean bishops, bringing to 7 the number of bishops who have stepped down since June in response to the clerical #sexabuse scandal in #Chile https://bit.ly/2Nru0qd  via @FloridaCatholic

The pope, Cardinals, archbishops, bishops and priests around the globe ought to take note and follow suit.

Also quoted from  Catholic News Service  on Twitter [2]:

“We are the church, if there’s need for a conversion it starts with us,” said the papal nuncio to the US. https://bit.ly/2NuxgAV  #Vencuentro @ENAHVE

This somewhat bold statement from Archbishop Christophe Louis Yves Georges Pierre, appointed "nuncio to the United States on 12 April 2016[,]" [3] ought to be restated this way: "We are the church.  There is a need for conversion.  It starts with us."
