VIMALNATH BHAGAVAN -13 King Kritvarma and queen Shyanan Devi of
Kampilpur were both
spiritualists and devotees of
the Jina. The queen one day
saw fourteen auspicious
things in her dream and the
augurs announced that she
will give birth to a
Tirthankar. It was the pious
soul that in its earlier birth
was king Padmasen of
Mahapuri town in
Datakikhand and had descended into the queens
womb from the Mahardhik dimension of gods.
During her pregnancy the queen radiated a soothing
glow. Her temperature also became congenial, kind,
and generous. When the child was born the whole
atmosphere was also filled with a soothing glow.
Inspired by this spread of purity, the king named his
new born son as Vimal (pure/untarnished).
In due course, prince Vimal Kumar became young,
was married, and then ascended the throne. After a
long and successful reign he became a Shraman
along with one thousand other kings and princes on
the fourth day of the bright half of the month of
Magh. After two years of spiritual practices he
attained omniscience and established the religious
ford. Merak Prativasudev, Svayambhu Vasudev,
and Bhadra Baldev were his contemporaries.
Bhagavan Vimalnath got Nirvana at Sammetshikhar
on the seventh day of the dark half of the month of
Ashadh.
ANANTNATH BHAGAVAN - 14 Queen Suyasha Devi, wife of king Simhasen of
Ayodhya, gave birth to an
illustrious son on the
thirteenth day of the dark
half of the month of
Vaishakh. During her
pregnancy the queen
dreamt of a very long
strand of beads whose ends
were not visible. The
power and the glory of the
king also increased
manifold during this period. Accordingly the new
born was named Anant (endless) Kumar.
After leading a normal life, first as a price and then
as the king he became an ascetic along with one
thousand other persons. He became an omniscient
on the fourteenth day of the dark half of the month
of Vaishakh under an Ashok tree. In his first
discourse he elaborated the subject of the
fundamentals-matter and life. He had fifty chief
disciples including the senior most named Yash.
Purushottam Vasudev and Suprabh Baldev reigned
during his period of influence.
Bhagavan Anantnath got
Nirvana at Sammetshikhar on
the fifth day of the bright half
of the month of Chaitra.
DHARMNATH
BHAGAVAN - 15 The being that was to
become Bhagavan
Dharmnath was king
Dridhrath of Bhaddilpur in Mahavideh area, in its
earlier incarnation. Although he had enormous
wealth and a large kingdom, he led a detached and
pious life like a lotus in a pond. Even great saints
praised him as the embodiment of religion. During
the later part of his life king Dridhrath became an
ascetic and as a result of his unblemished character
and sincere spiritual practices he earned the
Tirthankar-nam-and-gotra-karma. Completing his
age he reincarnated as a god in the Vaijayant
dimension.
This being then descended into the womb of queen
Suvrata, wife of king Bhanuraja of Ratnapur.
During the pregnancy the queen devoted all her
time in religious activities. Even the king and all
other members of the family were inclined to devote
maximum time to various religious activities like
charity, righteousness, penances, studies etc. On the
third day of the bright half of the month of Magh a
son was born to the queen. Due to the religious
influence during the pregnancy period, the king
gave him the name Dharmnath. In due course he
became young, was married and then ascended the
throne. He ruled successfully for a long period.
One day he terminated all worldly attachments and
became and ascetic. After two years of spiritual
practices he became omniscient. His first religious
discourse was attended by the fifth Vasudev Purush
Simha and Sudarshan Baldev.
In his first discourse he mainly dealt with the
subject of form and ill effects of passions. A large
audience was benefited by this eloquent discourse.
At last he went to Sammetshikhar and got Nirvana.
SHANTINATH BHAGAVAN - 16 The account of the earlier incarnations of Bhagavan
Shantinath indicates that his
being had taken the path of
discipline that lead toward
purity of soul many births
before. As a result of this
uplifting during his
incarnations as Shrisen and
Vajrayudh it was born as
Meghrath, the son of king
Dhanrath of Pundarikini
town in Purva Mahavideh
area. At the proper time, king Dhanrath gave the
kingdom to Meghrat and became an ascetic.
Protection to a Refugee Meghrath was a benevolent and religious ruler. He
was compassionate and protected all living things.
Being a Kshatriya and a warrior he had the chivalry
to sacrifice all he had in order to protect those in
trouble.
One day while observing the partial renunciation
vow (Paushadh) he was about to start a discourse on
the religion propagated by the Tirthankars. All of a
sudden a pigeon, trembling with fear, fell in his lap
and uttered in choking human voice, "Save me, O
king! Give me refuge, take me under your
protection!" The compassionate king comforted the
bird and took it under his protection.
The pigeon was followed by a falcon who too
uttered in human language, "O king! This pigeon is
my food, leave it alone." The king tried to explain,
"It has taken refuge with me, as such I am duty
bound to protect it. I will give you any type of food
you want; why kill a living thing just to fill your
stomach?"
The falcon insisted, "If you will not leave it I may
die of hunger. I am a carnivore; who will provide
me food. If I die, you will be responsible and bear
the sin."
When the falcon did not yield, Meghrath said at
last, "O falcon! As long as I exist, I will not allow
you to die. I will cut out flesh from my body
equivalent to the weight of this little pigeon and
give it to you. You may satisfy your urge to eat. But
under no circumstance I shall allow you to kill the
bird that has taken refuge with me."
The falcon agreed to this proposal and the king put
the pigeon in one pan of balance and in the other
started putting pieces of flesh cut out from his own
body. Surprisingly, the weight of the pigeon
continued to increase as the king went on putting
his flesh in the pan. Witnessing this pathetic scene,
the queens and the members of the assembly were
moved to tears. They requested the king not to
sacrifice his precious life for a mere pigeon. The
falcon, was also requested relent but he too
declined.
The king continued to cut flesh from his body and
put it in the pan of the balance. At last, when the
pieces of flesh were not enough, the king got up
from his seat and sat down in the pan. Everyone
present was dumb struck at this lofty compassion
and chivalry displayed by the king. Suddenly there
was a flesh of divine light and a divine personage
appeared. The pigeon and the falcon disappeared.
The god addressed the king, "Maharaj! The king of
gods was praising your compassion and courage, in
his assembly. I could not contain myself and came
around to test you myself. All this was my creation.
You come out with flying colors. You are worthy of
the praise bestowed on you by the King of gods.
Please forgive me." The god filled Meghrath’s
wounds instantaneously and left for his abode.
Whenever there is a talk about chivalry and
compassion king Meghrath’s name is taken with
respect.

THUMB TACK LANTERNS
I've had this project in my head for months, since Lauren
from The Thinking Closet guest posted these
awesome punched tin ornaments.
I love this project, because you probably already have
everything you need on hand, and you can easily make
them on the sofa while watching something on TV.
What you need:
1. Cardstock (I used textured card stock like this(Spectrum
Cardstock), but you could also use standard like this
(Cardstock Starter Kit)
2. A Pencil and Eraser
3. A Thumb Tack
4. Scissors or a Paper Cutter
5. Double Sided Tape
* Optional: Templates or Stencils for the Design
What you do: 1. Lightly sketch a simple design on the front center of a piece of cardstock. I really like the way that the textured paper looks. Remember that you are drawing on the side of the paper that will be showing. 2. Put your paper onto a piece of Styrofoam or foam board and start punching holes with a thumb tack along your design. Be careful to not poke two holes too close together to prevent tearing. This actually takes a lot less time than it looks like. 3. Continue making holes until you have dotted all along your design. 4. Go back and erase the pencil marks with a good eraser. Be careful and gentle and do not press the paper down against a hard surface, or the holes will close back a little bit.
5. Cut the paper into strips. I made tall versions at first, and then some shorter versions. The tall ones were 6.5" x 11" and the short ones were 4" x 11". 6. Wrap your cardstock around a cylinder (I used a large candle) and secure it with double sided tape. I found that the double sided tape was definitely strong and secure enough for this project.
These could pose a fire hazard if you just place them directly around a burning candle. I would
highly recommend small flameless candles, or votive candles placed inside glass votive holders.
I love how these lanterns look light up with candles. They are also cute during the day when the candles aren't lit.
These were so much fun to make, I want to make more with other designs and patterns on them. A monogrammed letter would be especially cute for a wedding.

For those who are considering adopting a vegan
diet, one of the most common concerns is whether a
diet that includes only plant foods can be
nutritionally adequate. Considering the position that
animal-based foods have in the standard Western
diet, this is hardly surprising. However, there is
increasing evidence that suggests that not only is a
whole-food vegan diet nutritionally adequate, but
that eliminating animal-based foods can actually
reduce one’s risk of disease and encourage overall
physical health and well-being.
“In 2009, the American Dietetic Association, the
world’s largest organization of food and nutrition
professionals, released a paper explaining their
position on vegetarian diets, including vegan diets.
‘It is the position of the ADA that appropriately
planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian
or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate,
and may provide health benefits in the prevention
and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned
vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals
during all stages of life, including pregnancy,
lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence, and
for athletes.’”
For those who are concerned about obtaining
adequate amounts of specific nutrients, it’s useful to
know which foods contain what. Not surprisingly,
green leafies are some of the stars in this show,
adding even more evidence to the case for a
daily green smoothie regimen.

TAX-SAVINGS INSTRUMENTS Had you been deferring your tax planning so far?
The current financial year is about to end and there
is no room for procrastination now. If you do not
plan your taxes now, you will end up paying a hefty
sum.
As a late planner, you will not get the maximum
benefits from tax-savings instruments due to the
notional loss in investment, but you can minimise
the damage.
"If you have not planned taxes in advance, make
sure to consider age, risk-return profile, liabilities
and dependents before you invest," says Kapil
Narang, COO, Ameriprise India, a financial
advisory firm.
Your tax-saving investments should depend on your
financial needs and goals. These should be
distributed among assets classes to reap the dual
advantage of lowering tax burden as well as
building your portfolio. See which tax-saving
instruments provide you this edge.
DEBT ROUTE
Equities are known to offer high return over the
long term. However, it does not mean you should
ignore debt investments.
Provident funds: If you are an employee, you must
have noticed a part of your salary going into the
Employees' PF. Your contribution to the EPF is
eligible for tax deduction of up to Rs 1 lakh under
Section 80C (total tax deduction claimed under
Section 80C for eligible investments cannot exceed
Rs 1 lakh.) From the current financial year, you can
also invest up to Rs 1 lakh in Public Provident Fund
for an 8.6 per cent return and a deduction.
After the overhaul of the National Small Savings
Fund, the interest rate offered on PPF investments
has been benchmarked to 10-year government
securities.
The money invested in PPF gets locked for 15
years, but you can take loans at 2 percentage points
higher than the prevailing PPF interest rate from the
third financial year to the fifth financial year of your
investment. Normal withdrawals are allowed from
the sixth year.
NSCs and FDs: Another safe debt option is
National Savings Certificates (NSCs). In the latest
issue of NSCs, you have two instruments with
maturity of 5 years and 10 years with interest rates
of 8.4 per cent and 8.7 per cent, respectively.
Investments up to Rs 1 lakh in NSCs are eligible for
tax deductions under 80C but the interest,
compounded semi-annually, is taxable. Interest
rates are benchmarked to government securities of
equivalent maturity periods, with 10-year NSCs
offering an additional 50 basis points return.
You can also consider investing in 5-year fixed
deposits. The interest accrued is taxable.
Senior citizens' savings: If you are 60, you can
invest in Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme while
earning a higher return. From the next fiscal, SCSS
will offer an interest of 1 percentage point more
than the five-year government bond. Currently,
senior citizens get a 9 per cent annual interest on
deposits.
The Savings Route: Tax-saving investments should
be chosen from various asset classes so as to build
your financial portfolio while lowering your tax
burden.
You can have multiple accounts but your total
investment in SCSS cannot exceed Rs 15 lakh. No
withdrawals are allowed but you can close your
account after a year. There is a deduction of 1.5 per
cent interest if the account is closed between one
and two years.
If the account is closed after two years, 1 per cent
interest is deducted. The investment qualifies for
deduction under Section 80C but the interest is
taxable.
Infrastructure bonds: Invest in infrastructure
bonds for additional deduction of Rs 20,000 under
Section 80CCF. Taxpayers in the highest bracket of
30 per cent tax rate can save up to Rs 6,180 in taxes
(including 3 per cent education cess on income tax).
The maturity proceeds of infrastructure bonds are
taxable.
EQUITY EDGE
Investment in equities come with added risk, but
these also beat inflation and help build wealth.
Equity-linked savings scheme: Mutual funds that
invest in equities and equities-related securities can
be used to claim tax deduction under Section 80C.
The lock-in period for ELSS investments is only 3
years compared with a minimum five years for
other tax-saving instruments. You do not need to
pay capital gains tax at redemption.
Ulips: Investments up to Rs 1 lakh in Ulips can be
claimed for deductions under Section 80C. Maturity
proceeds of a Ulip investment are tax-free. Though,
high up-front charges and mortality rates make
Ulips an expensive investment.
EXPENSE ACCOUNT
When it comes to saving taxes, most of us scramble
to invest in insurance policies we don't need or
NSCs that do not fit into our financial portfolio. So,
do not forget to consider your expenses as well.
House rent: Most employers include HRA in your
salary. The HRA exemption limit is the least of the
following: a) Actual HRA received, b) 40 per cent
of the basic salary (50 per cent in metros) or c) Rent
paid in excess of 10 per cent of basic salary.
If your salary does not include HRA, you can claim
a deduction of up to Rs 2,000 per month for rent
paid. However, you or your family should not have
a house in the place of accommodation. You should
also not have a self-occupied house. In this case, the
least of the following can be claimed: rent paid less
10 per cent of the total income, 25 per cent of the
total income and Rs 2,000 per month.
Quick tips to save tax
If you have let out a property, you can claim a 30
per cent deduction of the rental income for
maintenance. You can also deduct municipal taxes
paid for the property.
If you sell the property within five years of the
claim, the deduction will be reversed. The interest
component of your loan EMIs will get you a higher
tax saving. You can claim deductions up to Rs 1.5
lakh for interest paid under Section 24B.
Life insurance: The premium paid for a policy that
covers you, your spouse and dependent children is
deductible up to Rs 1 lakh under Section 80C. You
can buy both cash-back endowment plans as well as
term insurance plans.
Health insurance: Spending on health insurance
allows a deduction up to Rs 15,000 under Section
80D for premium paid. An additional deduction of
up to Rs 15,000 can be availed if you buy health
cover for your parents (below 60 years). For senior
citizens, the deduction limit is Rs 20,000.
Tuition fees: You can claim deduction up to Rs 1
lakh under 80C for tuition fees paid for two
children. Only fees paid for full-time courses of
Indian institutions are eligible for a claim.
Expenditure on transportation, development fee,
and hostel fees, etc, as well as coaching classes
cannot be clubbed for exemption.
Education loan: An education loan for you, your
spouse or children gets you a deduction under
Section 80E for the interest paid. There is no cap on
the deduction amount. The principal amount
repayment does not qualify for the deduction.
These include neurological diseases, malignant
cancers, kidney failure, AIDS & haematological
disorders. The deduction cannot be claimed if the
employer or an insurance company has reimbursed
you.
Disability: An individual suffering from a disability
can claim a deduction of Rs 50,000 under section
80U (Rs 1 lakh for severe disability). If you have a
disabled dependent, a deduction of Rs 50,000 is
available (Rs 1 lakh for severe disability).
Donations: You can avail of deduction up to 50-
100 per cent of the donations made to charitable
institutions under Section 80G. Deduction for
donations made cannot exceed 10 per cent of gross
total income. Donations to scientific research or
rural development institutions qualify for deduction
under Section 80GGA and to political parties for
full deduction under Section 80GGC.
Losses: Losses incurred due to short-term equity
investments or equities-based mutual funds can be
offset against short-term capital gains from debt
funds, gold and real estate. You can also offset such
losses against long-term gains from gold &property.
These losses can be carried forward up to 8 years.
JOLLY LLB REVIEW Come to think of it,
very few movies can
claim to make you
laugh at the right
places, yet mirror the
realities that plague
the nation
concurrently. JOLLY LLB walks the thin line
wonderfully. The on-screen characters seem straight
out of everyday life and if I am not mistaken, this is,
perhaps, the first Hindi movie that finds humor
within the confines of a courtroom, besides
presenting a captivating courtroom drama so
effectively.
JOLLY LLB works for yet another reason: It's a
fascinating account of an underdog who locks horns
with a much-senior, much-powerful and much-
influential lawyer and emerges triumphant, after
facing a lot of hardships.
Jolly [Arshad Warsi], a Meerut-based lawyer,
arrives in Delhi in search of a case that would make
him affluent and celebrated instantaneously. As
luck would have it, Jolly gets involved in a case
which pitches him against a mighty opponent -- the
hugely successful and unbeatable lawyer [Boman
Irani].
For decades, a majority of Hindi movies have
projected courtrooms so differently. From what a
real courtroom looks like to how the lawyers argue
cases, besides speaking in chaste Urdu or Hindi,
most Hindi movies seem to be completely detached
from realism. In actuality, the situation may be grim
and serious, but JOLLY LLB places a judge, two
warring lawyers and sundry characters in a realistic
setting, yet discovers humor in the most unexpected
[dark] situations. A satire on the judicial system, the
film boasts of powerful courtroom sequences
[reminds you of NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, at
times], but, most importantly, it has several
poignant moments that you carry home after the
screening has concluded. The arguments in the
packed courtroom and also between the lawyers --
Boman and Arshad -- is the soul of the enterprise.
Also, a number of sequences featuring the judge
[Saurabh Shukla], especially the one when he loses
his cool, are nothing short of brilliant.
Above and beyond the serious tone of the movie,
the humor in Subhash Kapoor's movies stems from
commonplace stuff, which is evident in JOLLY
LLB as well. If I may say so, it's very close to what
Rajkumar Hirani projects in his movies. At the
same time, the dramatic/serious moments and the
way the argument proceeds in the courtroom have
been handled most realistically. I'd like to make a
special mention of the dialogue, also penned by the
director, which enhance the impact of several
sequences. Anshuman Mahaley's cinematography is
most appropriate. Sanjoy Chowdhary's background
score is exhilarating.
Blemishes? This should've been a songless fare.
The songs act as a hindrance, for sure. Even
otherwise, the soundtrack is plain ordinary. Also,
the pace slackens, albeit slightly, towards the
middle of the film.
JOLLY LLB rests on three shoulders primarily --
Arshad, Boman and Saurabh Shukla. Accomplished
actors, all... and together they set the screen ablaze
with their terrific acts. Arshad is magnificent.
Known for his impeccable comic timing, this movie
is sure to make people realize that he's equally fab
while handling dramatic/serious moments. Boman
is top notch in a role that seems tailor-made for him.
The arrogance, haughtiness, overconfidence and
manipulative streak in his character comes alive
thanks to his bravura act. Saurabh is extraordinary
and in certain sequences, the scene-stealer. This is
one performance that will win him immense
admirers, besides accolades of course. It's
wonderful to see Amrita Rao after a hiatus. Though
the film belongs to the above-named actors, she
makes her presence felt every time she appears on
screen. The supporting cast delivers sparkling
performances as well. Manoj Pahwa is first-rate.
Harsh Chhaya is admirable. Mohan Kapur is
proficient. Mohan Agashe is wonderful. Veteran
Ramesh Deo is super. Sanjay Mishra is perfect in a
cameo. Sandeep Bose [as the corrupt cop], Ishtiaq
Arif Khan, Mukund Bhatt and Rajiv Siddharth are
satisfactory.
On the whole, JOLLY LLB is a power-packed
courtroom drama. But, most importantly, it
celebrates the spirit of the common man seeking
justice and impartiality most effectively. Just don't
miss this jolly good film!
THE NEW MESSENGER OF
CHIRSTANITY – POPE FRANCIS
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis is the first ever
from the Americas, an austere Jesuit intellectual
who modernized Argentina's conservative Catholic
church.
Known until Wednesday as Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-
year-old is known as a humble man who denied
himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires
cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope
last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote
total in several rounds of voting before he bowed
out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope
Benedict XVI.
Groups of supporters waved Argentine flags in St.
Peter's Square as Francis, wearing simple white
robes, made his first public appearance as pope.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening," he said
before making a reference to his roots in Latin
America, which accounts for about 40 percent of
the world's Roman Catholics
Bergoglio often rode the bus to work, cooked his
own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring
Argentina's capital. He considers social outreach,
rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential
business of the church.
He accused fellow church leaders of hypocrisy and
forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate
with prostitutes.
"Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and
share your testimony, go out and interact with your
brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become
the Word in body as well as spirit," Bergoglio told
Argentina's priests last year.
Bergoglio's legacy as cardinal includes his efforts to
repair the reputation of a church that lost many
followers by failing to openly challenge Argentina's
murderous 1976-83 dictatorship. He also worked to
recover the church's traditional political influence in
society, but his outspoken criticism of President
Cristina Kirchner couldn't stop her from imposing
socially liberal measures that are anathema to the
church, from gay marriage and adoption to free
contraceptives for all.
"In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who
don't baptize the children of single mothers because
they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage,"
Bergoglio told his priests. "These are today's
hypocrites. Those who clericalize the Church.
Those who separate the people of God from
salvation. And this poor girl who, rather than
returning the child to sender, had the courage to
carry it into the world, must wander from parish to
parish so that it's baptized!"
Bergoglio compared
this concept of
Catholicism, "this
Church of 'come
inside so we make
decisions and
announcements between ourselves and those who
don't come in, don't belong," to the Pharisees of
Christ's time — people who congratulate
themselves while condemning all others.
This sort of pastoral work, aimed at capturing more
souls and building the flock, was an essential skill
for any religious leader in the modern era, said
Bergoglio's authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin.
But Bergoglio himself felt most comfortable taking
a very low profile, and his personal style was the
antithesis of Vatican splendor. "It's a very curious
thing: When bishops meet, he always wants to sit in
the back rows. This sense of humility is very well
seen in Rome," Rubin said before the 2013 conclave
to choose Benedict's successor.
Bergoglio's influence seemed to stop at the
presidential palace door after Nestor Kirchner and
then his wife, Cristina Fernandez, took over the
Argentina's government. His outspoken criticism
couldn't prevent Argentina from becoming the Latin
American country to legalize gay marriage, or stop
Fernandez from promoting free contraception and
artificial insemination.
His church had no
say when the
Argentine Supreme
Court expanded
access to legal
abortions in rape
cases, and when
Bergoglio argued
that gay adoptions discriminate against children,
Fernandez compared his tone to "medieval times
and the Inquisition."
This kind of demonization is unfair, says Rubin,
who obtained an extremely rare interview of
Bergoglio for his biography, the "The Jesuit."
"Is Bergoglio a progressive — a liberation
theologist even? No. He's no third-world priest.
Does he criticize the International Monetary Fund,
and neoliberalism? Yes. Does he spend a great deal
of time in the slums? Yes," Rubin said.
Bergoglio has stood out for his austerity. Even after
he became Argentina's top church official in 2001,
he never lived in the ornate church mansion where
Pope John Paul II stayed when visiting the country,
preferring a simple bed in a downtown building,
heated by a small stove on frigid weekends. For
years, he took public transportation around the city,
and cooked his own meals.
That attitude was burnished as human rights
activists tried to force him to answer uncomfortable
questions about what church officials knew and did
about the dictatorship's abuses after the 1976 coup.
Many Argentines remain angry over the church's
acknowledged failure to openly confront a regime
that was kidnapping and killing thousands of people
as it sought to eliminate "subversive elements" in
society. It's one reason why more than two-thirds of
Argentines describe themselves as Catholic, but
fewer than 10 percent regularly attend mass.
Under Bergoglio's leadership, Argentina's bishops
issued a collective apology in October 2012 for the
church's failures to protect its flock. But the
statement blamed the era's violence in roughly equal
measure on both the junta and its enemies.
"Bergoglio has been very critical of human rights
violations during the dictatorship, but he has always
also criticized the leftist guerrillas; he doesn't forget
that side," Rubin said.
The bishops also said "we exhort those who have
information about the location of stolen babies, or
who know where bodies were secretly buried, that
they realize they are morally obligated to inform the
pertinent authorities."
That statement came far too late for some activists,
who accused Bergoglio of being more concerned
about the church's image than about aiding the
many human rights investigations of the Kirchners'
era.
Bergoglio twice invoked his right under Argentine
law to refuse to appear in open court, and when he
eventually did testify in 2010, his answers were
evasive, human rights attorney Myriam Bregman
said.
Initially trained as a chemist, Bergoglio taught
literature, psychology, philosophy and theology
before taking over as Buenos Aires archbishop in
1998. He became cardinal in 2001, when the
economy was collapsing, and won respect for
blaming unrestrained capitalism for impoverishing
millions of Argentines.
Later, there was
little love lost
between Bergoglio
and Fernandez.
Their relations
became so frigid
that the president
stopped attending his annual "Te Deum" address,
when church leaders traditionally tell political
leaders what's wrong with society.
During the dictatorship era, other church leaders
only feebly mentioned a need to respect human
rights. When Bergoglio spoke to the powerful, he
was much more forceful. In his 2012 address, he
said Argentina was being harmed by demagoguery,
totalitarianism, corruption and efforts to secure
unlimited power. The message resonated in a
country whose president was ruling by decree,
where political scandals rarely were punished and
where top ministers openly lobbied for Fernandez to
rule indefinitely.
