THE NEW YORK TIMES, PUBLISHED TODAY THIS ARTICLE BY LARRY ROHTER WITH LIES AND MANY OF THEM.

-------- LA PLATA, Argentina - The parishioners in the coastal village in Chile knew their priest simply as the Rev. Christián González. Only his accent gave away that he was an Argentine.

So it came as a shock to them when he traveled back to Argentina last year and had to face charges here for crimes dating to the military dictatorship of the 1970's. Under his real name, Christián von Wernich, he is accused of 19 counts of murder and 33 of abduction and torture.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, PUBLISHED TODAY THIS ARTICLE BY LARRY ROHTER WITH LIES AND MANY OF THEM. FATHER Christian Von Wernich was in Chile with his own name, Bishop Gonzalo Duarte said that on this article

In el Quisco every one knew him by his real name. When I introduced him in El Quisco, I did it by his name and in the Church Guide in Chile is printied his name that is Christian Von Wernich. That is another invention of the magazine. In a leftist argentinean paper Pagina12

Per the priest: I went with them to the harbor before sailing.... Policeman Julio Emmed said:.... we supposed to have taken them to the ship that were going to take them to Uruguay.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/26/international/americas/26prie.html


But, in the New York Times , Mr. Emmed said the prisoners had been put in a car and told that they were being taken to the airport before being released. Instead, they were beaten unconscious, he said. In the courts records it was verified that : There is a reality, Domingo Moncalvillo, María del Carmen Morettini y Cecilia Luján Idiart are registered as they entered in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, as said in their records.

There are many lies, must of the article is a difamation against the Catholic Church in Chile an Argentina. What is the Church in New York going to do about this article? Will the New York Times make a correction on their lies?

Nope they won't. They might try to stuff it down the memory hole later though.

I think the NYT knows the bulk of their readers aren't interested in the truth.

Thanks for your reply. I have read a court document in reference to this case, and many other newspapers articles which it shows how that article lies. But all of them are in spanish and I'm not a good translator to english.
I wonder if New York Post, or even the Washington Times investigate on this issue. Priests always give confort to prisoners.

I received information that the ex-policeman had testified on two courts denying his first allegations to the Comission created to keep records on dissapeared people about the priest. The reason for his lies before were because he was in jail accused of stealing and two lawyers of the a Comission whose names are in the court papers promised him to be free and 20,000 thousands dollars to leave the country. But time went by, and he was still in jail, so he decided to tell the thuth. The ex-policeman can not testify any more, some one killed him. The first allegation which it was made up, has not legal value, but two differents courts do. But, at this trial those three bias judges are not taking the legal testimony but instead the lies he said to a group that had promised him money and freedom from jail.
I have read some records from the defense plus some articles from El Mercurio, Valparaiso Chile and the bishop Duarte and many people always knew the priest with his real name and he was introduced with his real name. The false story was made up, like the one from the ex-policeman.
THE NEW YORK TIMES LIES, THE NEW YORK TIMES DOES NOT MAKE A CORRECTION ON THEIR LIES ON THIS CASE. IS NOT YELLOW JOURNALISM IS RED. The article was reprinted yesterday in El Nuevo Herald in Miami, but it was shorted they were more interested in the name changed and against the Catholic Church.
Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, foundation line, were in New York just before The New York Times published such article.
