My Take: "The Catholic Church and Argentina's Dirty War" (Subject Matters)
saltandlight on Oct 17, 2016 Argentina 1976 – A right-wing military group seized power in a time of social instability, in the name of fighting communism and protecting “Christian civilization.” They kidnapped and tortured thousands. About 90% of Argentina was Catholic at the time, which meant that Catholics were persecuting other Catholics who were considered communist sympathizers and subversives. So, Father Morello asks of his fellow countrymen and women, what defines one’s Catholicism? This is a fascinating sociological study of a dark period in our recent history.
