The Vatican and Its Great Friend, Augusto Pinochet

VATICAN CITY, April 10, 2013. The Vatican dismissed killings during the Pinochet dictatorship: Wikileaks. Giovanni Benello, the right hand of Pope Paul VI, classified the accusations against the military repression as, simply, "communist propaganda."
The Vatican has dismissed reports about the killings committed by the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet after the coup of 1973 and expressed his understanding and tolerance for the bloodshed after the coup in Chile, according to Wikileaks reports revealed on Monday. "As is natural, unfortunately, after a coup, we must admit that there has been bloodshed in the cleansing operations of Chile," said former Monsignor Giovanni Benelli, substitute of the Secretariat of State according to the cables made public online by the Wikileaks website and partially released by the Italian magazine L"Espresso and the La Repubblica newspaper, among the outlets that obtained the exclusivity. "The stories of the international news outlets that tell of a brutal repression in Chile have no grounds," said U.S. diplomat Benelly, despite worldwide allegations against a wave of illegal detentions that swept the country and described them as "gross lies."
The diplomatic of the Holy See, who became cardinal and was considered a candidate to succeed Paul IV, after his death, argued that both the Vatican embassy in Chile, as the the Chilean bishops had assured him that the military group "was doing everything possible to normalize the situation."
The revelations of Wikileaks denounce the Vatican's relationship with the bloody military dictatorships of South America, full of shadows and lights. In the cable, Benelli recognizes that the hierarchy of the church "receives internal pressure to condemn the excesses of military action ," without the Holy See ever publicly condemning or severing diplomatic ties. Three years after the military coup, and without verifiable cables, Chile was isolated internationally and the Vatican maintained its political line of "discreet lobbying."
Fourteen years after the coup, on April 1987, Pinochet convinced Polish Pope John Paul II to make a historic visit to Chile, during which he appeared with the pontiff from the Palace of La Moneda, action that generated controversy and criticism from many Catholic sectors, who saw the gesture as a blessing to the regime.
According to The Man Christ Jesus, Dr. José Luis De Jesús, we are experiencing a global uncovering of the crimes of the Catholic Religious Corporation. This unveiling is allowing the rulers of the Earth and all human beings to have enough evidence to make decisions against this evil entity. Rules should already be severing bonds that for years tied them to this crime organization. And as for the people, it is an excellent opportunity to get out of the traditionalist religious attachment that had blinded them for ages. We will soon see its destruction.
