	Documents published in Chile this week show that two of the country&#39;s most senior churchmen - including a member of Pope Francis&#39; inner circle - succeeded in blocking one of their country&#39;s best known survivors of clerical abuse from being nominated to the Pope&#39;s child protection commission.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Juan Carlos Cruz had been nominated by the Irish survivor and advocate Marie Collins.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Ms Collins, who is a member of the Pope&#39;s child abuse commission, has said she was sickened by the revelation that the two Chilean cardinals concerned had interfered with the work of the commission.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	She said she did not want to pre-empt the commission&#39;s discussion of the matter, adding that she personally was not surprised that fellow survivors are being treated behind the scenes as the enemy by senior clergy.</p>
