The upshot of this BBC story is that von Wernich (guilty) is the first of possibly many such Church related cases. According to BBC, the Catholic hierarchy in Argentina all condoned, and some actually participated in the Junta's dirty war.
Is there any reason to believe the Catholic hierarchy in any other part of the world is any better?

Here’s the Pope’s kidnapping-for-Jesus bit:
The most high-profile witness during the three-month trial was the Argentine Nobel Peace prize laureate, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, himself a prisoner under military rule.
He declared in court that he had told Pope John Paul II personally that the military was kidnapping the babies of women prisoners.
"The Pope put down the information I'd given him," he said. "Then he told me: 'You also have to think about the children living in communist countries.'"
So, Pope John Paul II approved kidnapping babies if it’s part of a fight against communism.
I guess if you're pro-capitalist, you just want to canonize that guy.
