ℹ️ Monsignor Hesayne was Catholic Bishop of Viedma between 1975 and 1995. Committed to reality, he was, along with Jaime de Nevares, Jorge Novak and the Methodist Bishop Federico Pagura, those who mainly welcomed the relatives of the disappeared and raised their voices against the dictators. ???? In 1985, Hasayne was a witness in the trial of the former commanders and in that context he contributed one of several letters that he sent to the "de facto" rulers. The President of the H. Federal Chamber, Andrés D'alessio, interrupted the statement and ordered the secretary to read that letter to the audience. It is an essential piece of repudiation of torture based on the Christian faith (minute 47 of the testimony). In it, he conceives of human beings as living temples and, as such, their outrage is proscribed. Later, faced with the dictators’ reluctance to grant freedom to the detained Eduardo Mario Chironi, Hesayne sent another letter to Videla warning him that, if his parishioner was not released before the Te Deum on May 25, 1978, the churches in his diocese would close their doors. Videla did not respond to Hesayne, but Chironi was released. Clearly, Hesayne stood at the antipodes of the clerical leadership that openly supported the dictatorial regime. He died at the end of 2019 at the age of 97. ???????? PHOTO CREDITS MIGNONE Emilio: “Church and Dictatorship”. National Thought Editions. Buenos Aires, 1986.
