I hate to Augusto Pinochet on the basis of what is a sign. Is the steward of the servants who decided to rebel against their masters. José Donoso wrote it with rare skill in Casa de Campo.
Augusto Pinochet Is it bad? Yes it is. What is sibilant and hypocritical. What is a coward and henpecked husband. It is for allowing his dictatorship became in a perfidious matriarchy: the bloody dictatorship of Pinochet's dictatorship was Lucia Hiriart.
But like any human animal, Pinochet is entitled to mercy.
Recently, the Military Vicar General wanted poner a un capellán militar católico para que administrara al anciano ex dictador el último sacramento: La Santa Unción, antes llamada Extremaunción. El hombre está viviendo una senilidad dolorosa. Se alimenta sólo con papillas. Es claro que morirá pronto.
¿Y qué ocurrió? Ocurrió que todos los capellanes militares buscaron excusas para negarse a visitar a Pinochet. Sólo uno, el capitán del Servicio Religioso Carlos Roberto Melo Cruces, capellán de la Escuela de Paracaidistas y Fuerzas Especiales, tuvo la hidalguía de llevarle el postrer consuelo de la Fe Católica.
¡Es inconcebible! Es una grosera cobardía. Es un hecho que habla a las claras de decadencia. Es un cartuchismo absolutely inappropriate in men consecrated to God. It is a very clear correlation of skepticism felt by many Catholics.
From these pages, I can not but condemn this cowardly and congratulate the chaplain Melo for his manhood. Anibal Barrera Ortega
