Pope Francis I (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) was not a Man of the People” committed to “helping the poor” in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi .
Quite the opposite:
his endeavors under the military junta, consistently targeted progressive members of the Catholic clergy , as well as committed human rights activists involved in grassroots anti-poverty programs.
In supporting Argentina’s “Dirty War”, Jorge Mario Bergoglio blatantly violated the very tenets of Christian morality which cherish the value of human life.
The Church was involved in supporting the military junta and it was the later Pope Francis I, who served as head of Argentina’s Jesuit order during the military dictatorship.
The election of Pope Francis I had broad geopolitical implications for the entire Latin American region.
In the 1970s, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was supportive of a US-sponsored military dictatorship.
The Catholic Hierarchy in Argentina supported the military government. The junta’s program of torture, assassinations and “disappearances” of thousands of political opponents was coordinated and supported by Washington under the CIA’s “Operation Condor.”
In Latin America, where a number of governments were challenging US hegemony,it was expected –given Bergoglio’s track record– that the new Pontiff Francis I as leader of the Catholic Church, would play de facto, a discrete “undercover” political role on behalf of Washington.
And he did .
With Jorge Bergoglio, Pope Francis I in the Vatican –who faithfully served US interests in the heyday of General Jorge Videla and Admiral Emilio Massera— the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Latin America was once again able to effectively manipulate and to undermine “progressive” (Leftist) governments, not only in Argentina (in relation to the government of Cristina Kirschner) but throughout the entire region, including Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia.
US covert operations and propaganda campaigns are routinely applied with a view to influencing national elections in different countries around the world.
Similarly, the CIA has a longstanding covert relationship with the Vatican.
Firmly committed to serving US foreign policy interests in Latin America , Jorge Mario Bergoglio was Washington’s preferred candidate.
And undercover pressures were most definitely but discretely exerted by Washington, within the Catholic Church, directly or indirectly, on the 115 cardinals who were members of the Vatican conclave?
