Alberto Ángel Zanchetta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Father Alberto Ángel Zanchetta is currently Secretary and General Chancellor for the Military Bishopric, or Ordinariato Castrense of Argentina. He is also known for service as a chaplain at the Navy Sub-Officers School of the Mechanics, or ESMA, where approximately 5,000 people were tortured and killed during the Dirty War in Argentina. According to naval officer Adolfo Scilingo (who himself, in 2005, became the first Latin American military officer convicted for his participation in Operation Condor), Zanchetta consoled the officers who were stricken with anguish from tasks they were asked to fulfill, from routine torture and executions to pushing naked, drugged prisoners out of helicopters during the so-called "death flights".
