Publisher's Note
This engrossing analysis contends that the Eucharist is the Church's response to the use of torture as a social discipline. It sees torture not only as the violation of individual integrity and as the outcome of an ethical choice made by individuals, but also as involving a larger confrontation of powers. Torture and Eucharist focuses on the experience of Chile and the Catholic Church, before and during the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, 1973-1990. It situates the arguments within wider discussions in the fields of social ethics and human rights, ecclesiology and the state, and sacramental theology and ethics. The author has first-hand experience of working with the Church in Chile, and his interviews with ecclesiastical officials and grassroots Church workers speak directly to the reader.
