(7,981 posts)1. Pope Francis
With the mainstream media hailing the new pope as a cuddly, squeaky-clean messiah for the shamed and shit-stained Catholic Church, it looks like its up to HUSTLERand a few diligent historiansto do the journalistic dirty work. Formerly known as Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina, the new human hotline to heaven may have dropped his old moniker, but he still has some serious historical baggage. The closer you look, the more this papal savior resembles Pontius Pilate.
During his countrys military dictatorship and its Dirty War of the 1970s, when scores of resisters were killed or disappeared, Bergoglio honed his reputation as a guy who would gladly bend over for any junta that came along. After all, complying with dictatorships and fascism is a deep-seated tradition in the Catholic Church.
As local head of the Jesuit order at the time, Bergoglio stripped two priests Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalicsof their official functions, withdrawing the protections provided by the church. The priests were involved in helping the poor, an activity that smelled to the juntas jackboots a lot like Peron ism. Anything Juan Perón and his wife Eva fought forlike democracy, trade unions and care for the underprivilegedwas a scourge to the new regime. How dare Jesuit priests follow their vow of charity when they should be rimjobbing the new Butchers of Buenos Aires?
No sooner had Bergoglio made the priests unfair game than they were grabbed by paramilitary thugs and delivered to the torture chambers of the notorious detention camp Escuela Mecánica de la Armada, or ESMA. Later, when people started asking questions, the priests turned up drugged and naked in a field outside Buenos Aires. Yorio later testified that Bergoglio never warned us. It was him who provided our names to the military. The future pontiff, they charged, even lied to the priests families about their fate.
