Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Paulo Evaristo Arns" in English language version.
While Archbishop Camara's church career has been almost entirely involved in Brazilian politics, Archbishop Arns's has been connected with the study and teaching of philosophy. A square‐shouldered, squarejawed man of 50, Archbishop Arns holds a doctorate in philosophy from the Sorbonne. During two years in office, he has been quick and uncompromising in denouncing Government torture. But he has rejected any political role and was just as quick to condemn the recent hunger strike as morally wrong.
Catholic Church leaders, most prominent among them the Archbishop of Sao Paulo, Paulo Evaristo Cardinal Arns, have also protested the continued use of torture in the interrogation of opposition suspects. The torture issue has been the principal cause of strain in church‐state relations in this largely Catholic country of 104 million people.
The report eventually led to a Brazilian truth commission report in 2014 that identified 377 individuals responsible for human rights violations and called for their prosecution.
