The crisis of the Roman Catholic church in the South American country of Chile has led to a dramatic fall in the level of trust that Chileans have in the institution. According to a survey, the level of trust dropped to 31 percent in 2020, down from 60 percent in 2005. The sex abuse scandals uncovered in 2018, together with the subsequent investigation of over a hundred clergymen and the mass resignation of the country's bishops, have severely damaged the church's reputation, turning it into the lowest in Latin America.
