A Mass he has planned to hold on Tuesday in a Santiago park is expected to attract more than 500,000 people. Protests on issues ranging from indigenous rights to the Church’s ongoing sexual abuse scandal are expected.

Vandals in Santiago attacked three churches with at least four bomb attacks before dawn on Friday in protests against Pope Francis’s visit to the South American country January 15-18, local media reported.
In three of the attacks the churches suffered damage, to their doors and facades in particular, while the fourth attack was thwarted by police, the media said.
At Penalolen, at the Cristo Vencedor Chapel, a bomb did not cause major damage.
At Recoleta, another attack struck the Emanuel Chapel, where a bomb broke a door and some windows.
Finally, at the Cristo Pobre shrine, police said they had “neutralised” a rubbish bin apparently full of fuel.
