Pope Francis meets with President of the Mothers of
the Plaza de Mayo
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Friday met with Hebe de Bonafini, 87, the founder and president of the Asociación
Madres de Plaza de Mayo (Association of the Mothers of the Plaza de
Mayo). The Association was formed by the mothers of those dissidents who
“disappeared” (los desaparecidos) during the 1976-1983 military
dictatorship in Argentina. During this period, Hebe de Bonafini
lost two sons and her daughter-in-law.
She spoke after her meeting
with the Holy Father, and told journalists the two had embraced and that
apologized for earlier criticisms she had made of the Pope.
She also said they discussed
the current situation in Argentina, especially the large number of people out
of work, and struggling to survive.
