{"product_id":"a-perverted-integrity-von-william-hamilton","title":"A Perverted Integrity","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew doubt that the sex abuse scandals in Europe and the U.S. have  inflicted damage to the moral authority of Catholic Church.  Hamilton examines a similar moral calamity that took place more  than three decades ago in Argentina, when the Catholic bishops  provided moral and theological justification for the military's  infamous Dirty War against Subversion (1976-1883). The author  analyzes the integrity of the hierarchy's pastorals, sermons, press  releases, and policy statements. In both situations¿in Argentina  and in Europe and the U.S.¿Church officials at first denied or  ignored the allegations, dragged their feet in taking action,  withheld documents, refused to cooperate with investigations, and  waged fierce battles to maintain the integrity of the institution  rather than secure justice for the victims of abuse. Church  documents from Argentina reveal the bishops' complicity in  defending the Junta's campaign of disappearances, torture, and  murder as well as subsequent efforts to protect the Church's  privileges and salvage its moral authority in response to public  outrage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844328882\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Catholic Church's Human Rights Scandal in Argentina's Dirty War, 1976-1983\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844328882","offer_id":39495962296413,"sku":"9783844328882","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/709b743b-d502-400e-98d3-45d249c124b3.jpg?v=1775713816","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/a-perverted-integrity-von-william-hamilton","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
