The Church in Argentina

In reponse to Rick's question about the Church's activity during Argentina's "dirty war," my friend Andy Connolly, a diocesan priest in New York, writes: "As so often happens in Latin America and elsewhere, The Church (hierarchy & some laity) and the Church (some priests, religious and laity) are split.  There were some real Christian martyrs who died defending the defenseless.  Then there were members of the hierarchy who were fundamentally supportive of the military dictatorship from the outset and did nothing to stop the murders, torture, disappearances, etc."  (I gather from him that although there is not a lot of information accessible on the web in English on this subject, there is quite a bit available in Spanish.)
