Summary

Testimonios inéditos, cartas y reflexiones de aquellos que lograron sobrevivir a la dictadura argentina gracias al coraje de Jorge Bergoglio. Una faceta desconocida del papa Francisco.

La figura del papa Francisco ha tenido un gran impacto en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, es muy poco lo que se conoce acerca de su vida en Argentina durante los convulsionados años setenta, cuando ocupaba el cargo de provincial de los jesuitas.

¿Qué ocurrió con el secuestro y la posterior liberación de los sacerdotes jesuitas Orlando Yorio y Francisco Jalics? ¿Qué relación tenía Bergoglio con los jóvenes entregados a la guerrilla? ¿Qué demandas realizó ante la Junta Militar? ¿Podría haber hecho más de lo que hizo? ¿Tuvo miedo?.

Hoy cuesta imaginar que la persona que ocupa el trono del Vaticano desde 2013 se moviera, en el pasado, como un experimentado militante revolucionario, pero Bergoglio no dudó en desarrollar una estrategia de simulación y silencio ni en valerse de todos los instrumentos que tenía a su alcance, a pesar de los riesgos a los que se exponía, para ocultar o facilitar la salida del país de muchas personas.

Este libro revelador presenta los testimonios de aquellos que lograron sobrevivir gracias al coraje del actual pontífice.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Unedited testimonies, letters, and reflections from those who managed to survive the Argentinian dictator thanks to the courage of Jorge Bergoglio. An unknown side of Pope Francis.
 
The figure of Pope Francis has had a great impact on the whole world. Nevertheless, very little is known about his life in Argentina during the turmoil of the seventies, when he held the provincial position for the Jesuits.
 
 What happened with the kidnapping and later release of the Jesuit priests Orlando Yorio and Francisco Jalics?  What relationship did Bergoglio have with the youth dedicated to the guerrilla? What demands did he carry out faced with the Military Junta? Could he have done more than he did? Was he afraid?
 
Today it's hard to imagine that the person who has occupied the Vatican throne since 2013 moved about, in the past, as an experienced militant revolutionary, but Bergoglio didn't hesitate in developing a strategy of simulation and silence nor in making use of all the tools at his reach, despite the risks he was exposed to, in order to facilitate many people's escape from the country.
 
This revealing book presents testimonies from those who managed to survive thanks to the courage of the current pontiff.
