A history of the Catholic church's opposition to the Pinochet regime between 1976 and 1992 which was institutionalized in the Vicariate of Solidarity. Lowden (Research Officer, Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford) documents the Vicariate's public denunciation of human rights abuses and its widespread influence during the Chilean military regime, noting that Pinochet did not force its closure for fear of direct confrontation with the church, thus emphasizing the important role Catholicism might play in opposing moral abuses in political situations.
