If the Basque Pedro Arrenb is, then the general community of Jesus will not tend to Jorge Mario Bergulio very little to put it … His hands, in 1973, the reins of Jesuit in Argentina, will certainly not become a bishop, Cardinal or the Pope. His appointment by Bilbao Erinbi as a province of Lesoueen in Argentina, between 1973 and 1979, made him leave the lack of disclosure of his identity. It is the fact that Bergoglio, Bergoglio’s biography or Arrupe tends to neglect, but we must notice this.
As president of the provinces, Bergoglio did not emerge to publicly lift his voice against the abuses of the Argentine dictatorship, as they did other clerics, and sometimes they pay his life. Likewise, once the Pope was chosen, the testimonies of specific persons multiplied from the former doctors to the left -wing militants, who confirmed that Bergolio was safe and also risked by their security.
During the years of repression, Bergoglio often addressed a public broadcaster in Buenos Aires, for fear of his phone intervention by the dictatorship police, to inform the future in detail and receive direct instructions from Arrupe. Between them, the relationship of trust and collusion was fermentation.
It is also appropriate to remember this now, because a few weeks ago, 50 years of celebration of the XXXII General Group has been completed, where the company’s representatives around the world have been redefined under the leadership of “Justice and Justice Promotion”. Of course, Jesuit has not been persecuted to dismiss or replace concepts, for example, as being inherent in Christian traditions such as charity and mercy towards others. However, it was necessary to take another qualitative step and work with a decision on the radical transformation of societies in terms of justice and fairness.
Bergolio was one of the younger Jesuitists who participated in that historical public group. None of the documents that were written during her celebration explicitly hinted at the editorial theology. Now, this theological current was in the minds of everyone and its mouth, either as a major inspiring source or as a new model to consider it with caution due to the prosperous effect of Marxism – in a disguised manner. Arrupe and Bergoglio instead of this second opinion. In fact, Arrupe, with the help of the French Jesuit and the expert of the world in Marxism Jean -Yves Calvz, published a speech in 1980, proving serious restrictions on Marxist analysis.
He did not emerge to raise his voice against the dictatorship, but there are testimonies that he puts people safe
The commitment to social justice was asking every province of Jesus to establish its “way of moving forward”, which is formed by social work and political injury platforms, in addition to the methodologies of the critical analysis of the social reality that also puts the Jesuits in dialogue or confrontation with dominant ideologies. This requires, at the same time, to redirect traditional ministries, from schools and universities to spiritual accompaniment and missionary work. Bergoglio in Argentina and European worldwide were forced to enhance deep reforms, which some have been sentenced to very bold and other, shy and insufficient. Nothing almost was easy. Throughout history, the Jesuit schools have also emerged to educate them in the children of political and economic elites. “We will lose good friends,” he cautioned.
I heard for many years, the Jesuits do not insist that Bergoglio, in fact, did not participate in the “Arrupe line”. However, the truth is that both of them always worked as one team and shared the same apostolic priorities. The most important with the Pergogeno pattern also distanced themselves from Arrupe. That is, the most ideological Jesuit or those who, even if they were without pretending, led to the secularization of the internal life of the company.
Arrupe was first and foremost mystical, religious from the holy heart, who prayed every day on the fifteen pink secrets, was always sensitive to humanitarian suffering and was a very wonderful medicine student, with his hands, raising a campaign hospital in Hiroshima as soon as the first atomic bomb exploded. Meanwhile, like thousands of Jesuits, aspires to become his student.
