Was he into the Communist endorsed “liberation theology” which so many South American Catholic priests were pushing in the 60’s & 70’s??
I don’t know about if he had a connection to liberation theology. I do know, however, that many have alleged he played a nasty role during the years of Argentina’s military dictatorship between roughly 1976-1980. During those years thousands of people were kidnapped and killed, including a group of priests. I don’t know the details of the allegations against him. I do know that when Bergoglio was sued over his involvement, he refused to testify.
