A priest held for months by the Argentine military junta, after allegedly being betrayed by the man who would become Pope, today said that he was “reconciled to the events” and considered the matter closed.

Father Franz Jalics, a Hungarian-born priest living at a retreat in Bavaria, southern Germany, said that he met Jorge Bergoglio years after his detention and the pair “hugged solemnly” after celebrating Mass together in Argentina.
