Pope complains about unfounded accusations against John Paul II

Pope Francis has come to the defence of the late pope John Paul II who was accused in a recent documentary film of ignoring allegations of abuse by priests and protecting them by transferring them.

Francis said that the former pope, who was born Karol Wojtyla in Poland, is “these days the object of insulting and unfounded insinuations.”

The Catholic Church leader defended the late pope on Sunday before the faithful in St. Peter’s Square in Rome.
