A PBS NewsHour report on the Vatican's 2018 Scicluna-Bertomeu investigation into the Chilean Catholic Church, its 2,300 page report to Pope Francis, the mass resignation of every active Chilean bishop and auxiliary in May 2018, and the pope's own acknowledgment of "serious mistakes" in his earlier handling of the crisis.
