REUTERS/Angelo Carconi/PoolVATICAN CITY, May 9 - Pope Francis said that when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires more than a decade ago, the Argentine government wanted "to cut my head off" by backing false accusations that he had collaborated with the military dictatorship of the 1970s.
Jalics was arrested in 1976 along with another Jesuit priest, Orlando Yorio, a Uruguayan. Yorio died in 2000 and Jalics died in 2021. Francis has always denied this and when he was elected pope, Jalics issued a statement saying the arrest was not the future pope's fault. The pope did not give details but as archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had an often rocky relationship with the government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who served in that role from 2007-2015.

Ousted Caritas chief denounces Vatican 'power grab'The recently ousted head of the Vatican's main charitable organization is breaking six months of silence to denounce his removal as a “brutal power grab.” Aloysius John has penned an eight-page open letter to the Caritas confederation on the eve of a general assembly to elect his successor. He was fired in November after a Vatican-backed independent inquiry determined there were “real deficiencies” in his management. The Caritas General Assembly meets May 11-16 to elect new leaders. The gathering is a key step in Pope Francis’ efforts to renew the Vatican-based confederation of 162 national and regional groups that provide emergency disaster relief and support development, health care and refugee programs around the globe.
