Chili : Quand l’Église s’est tue

In brief

Ovide Bastien described the shock of seeing high ranking leaders of the Chilean Catholic Church show closeness to the military junta following the September 11, 1973, coup d'état.

Bastien, who was staying in Chile with his wife during the coup, shared these observations in a text published by Présence. He noted that the Church's top authorities appeared to align themselves with the military regime rather than opposing it.
