According to today's Democracy Now: apparently there is no evidence Bergoglio helped the dictatorship hide prisoners. The Villa where prisoners where hid was owned by the church on behalf of the then Archbishop who at the time was not Bergoglio. On the other hand, in spite of Bergoglio's denial, there appears to be strong evidence for Bergoglio's complicity in the kidnapping of two liberal Jesuit Priest. Begroglio as a Jesuit who opposed liberation theology specifically withdrew the protection of the Church from those two Jesuits, which (as he or anyone would have known at the time) left them vulnerable to kidnapping by the military. < > > BTW, he's a Jesuit himself. > -- > Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
