Controversy seems to have arisen surrounding the election of the new Argentinian pope.
It centres on the on the role of the church during the reign of terror which led to 10,000 Argentinians being murdered and more being tortured and 'disappeared' at the behest of the military junta.
The church was,as tends to be the case, silent on these events at the time, but one aspect in particular has been raised. Priests working among the poor in ghettos were ordered to desist; those who refused, had the protection of the church withdrawn leading to two being arrested and imprisoned for eight months, several more 'disappeared' and were never seen again.
It's not clear whether your man was directly involved though reports have suggested that he should make his position clear.
