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. What scandal would not have ensued if the first pope ever to be elected from the continent of America had been revealed as an accessory to murder and false imprisonment

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.
