We claim responsibility for the installation of an incendiary/explosive device at one of the entrances to the Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement sanctuary, located in the La Florida district, an action carried out on the night of January 15, the day of Pope Francis’ arrival in Chile.With our action we reaffirm the fight against the authority of the Catholic Church, an institution whose bodies and representatives have historically exercised repression over bodies, the imposition of roles and behavioral patterns, the manipulation of minds and the spiritual monopoly that castrates the freedom of individuals.An accomplice to massacres, persecutions, and genocides throughout world history, the Catholic Church and its Papacy are a pillar of civilized domination and colonialism in the territory known as “Latin America.”The Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement, founded in Germany in 1941 by Father Joseph Kentenich, who personally created the movement in Chile in 1949, is undoubtedly an important enclave and reference point for the conservatism of the Chilean business elite.Through their network of schools, the Schoenstatt Fathers educate more than six thousand girls and boys in Chile through a value system that represses sexual freedom, condemns abortion, and strongly defends the hegemony of the institution-contract of heterosexual marriage.Linked to this movement are a number of despicable figures such as Father Raúl Hasbún, a moral and political defender of the dictatorship; Congressman José Antonio Kast, a defender of the dictatorship and torturers, businessman, and former presidential candidate with fascist leanings; businessman Agustín Edwards, ownerof the right-wing newspaper “El Mercurio,” who was praying at the Schoenstatt Shrine when a guerrilla group (FPMR) kidnapped his son in the early 1990s; businessman Felipe Matta Navarro, a personal friend of President Piñera and linked to the pension fund business of the AFPs; and priests Rodrigo Gajardo, a known pedophile, and Francisco José CoxHuneeus, accused of child sexual abuse, who now lives in seclusion in a monastery.Beyond these links and any context or justification, we know that it is always a good time to attack the tranquility of the temples of morality and authority.With this action, we welcome the invitation launched by our comrades from the “Santiago Maldonado Cell”, who from Italy have proposed to reinforce the attacks that threaten the peace of the representatives and accomplices of domination.We salute every anarchic cell and individuality that continues to spread the insurgent fire of freedom.
AGAINST THE POWER OF THE CHURCH AND CHRISTIAN MORALITY
