Torture and Eucharist: Theology, Politics, and the Body of Christ

Author: William T. Cavanaugh [1]

Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, 1998, pp. 304

Takes Chile as case study of Christian response to torture. The Catholic Church’s Vicaria de la Solidaridad (pp. 264-7) was the major human rights monitoring body in the country, while the more ecumenical Sebastian Acevedo Movement against Torture (pp. 273-7) organized lightning protests to hightlight places or institutions implicated in torture.
