10. Francis knows all too well what happened in the 1970s-1990s. And is making some effort to come to terms with it.

11. As Francis tries to grapple with what happened in Latin America, someone should ask D'Souza, Novak & others if they have any remorse.

12. Of course I'm not dim. I know D'Souza & Novak have no remorse and no conscience. But I want this on the record.

@HeerJeet Yes. And ISTM he's still dedicated to downplaying U.S. complicity in South American horrors of the 1980s. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/365720/agreeing-pope-francis-michael-novak …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@MollieOReilly Right. He worked on some sort of Reagan gov't human rights board whitewashing this stuff in 1980s, if I remember correctly.
