Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta is to examine new information.
COMMENTARY: Chile’s bishops opposed the Holy Father in 2015 in private and would not support him in 2018 in public.
Holy Father said that he judged the couple was ready for the sacrament and didn’t wish them to delay the regularization of their situation any longer.
Francis said that comments made to Chilean journalists Jan. 18 were not intended to cause pain for victims of clerical sexual abuse.
The statement refers to a comment made by Pope Francis to a Chilean reporter, but the Boston shepherd reiterated the Pope's commitment to aiding victims as well as his own.
At the end of his three-day visit to Chile, the Holy Father said accusations that he helped cover up abuse are unproven.
Francis at Mass says that ‘there is no Christian joy when others are made to feel unwanted’ — adding that care of others should follow Mary’s example.
Peace and progress start with knowledge and learning, Francis says at Chilean university.
Jesus keeps us connected to faith, Francis said. ‘The day will come when, without realizing it, your heart will beat like Jesus’ heart.’
