"(About Pinochet) I am not saying that his regime is perfect, but at least we find Christian principles as the fundamental program of his political orientation. He is a man of justice and order and favors the presence of the Catholic Church, even if the Chilean bishopsâwhat a paradox!âare not at all grateful to him. [...] When Pinochet recently escaped an assassination attempt, [...] people shouted, âThank you, Holy Virgin, for protecting the general's life."
