The “Dirty War” Pope

16 March 2013

For over a week, the media has subjected the public to a tidal wave of euphoric banality on the Roman Catholic Church’s selection of a new pope.

This non-stop celebration of the dogma and ritual of an institution that for centuries has been identified with oppression and backwardness is stamped with a deeply undemocratic character. It is reflective of the rightward turn of the entire political establishment and its repudiation of the principles enshrined in the US Constitution, including the wall of separation between church and state

Bergoglio, l’Eglise catholique argentine, et la dictature militaire argentine.

The extent of the church’s complicity in the dark deeds was excellently set out by Horacio Verbitsky, one of Argentina’s most notable journalists, in his book El Silencio (Silence). He recounts how the Argentine navy with the connivance of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires, hid from a visiting delegation of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission the dictatorship’s political prisoners. (...). Bergoglio was hiding them in nothing less than his holiday home in an island called El Silencio in the River Plate. The most shaming thing for the church is that in such circumstances Bergoglio’s name was allowed to go forward in the ballot to chose the successor of John Paul II.

Bergoglio exemplifies the virtues of the wise pastor that many
electors value. Observers have praised his humility: he has
been reluctant to accept honors or hold high office and commutes
to work on a bus. What could count against him is his
membership in the Jesuit order. Some senior prelates,
especially conservatives, are suspicious of a liberal streak in
the order, perhaps most pronounced in the U.S., but also present
elsewhere.
