I do not dismiss Cardenal out of hand, there are instances I can think of when his input has been salutary. But when the question is about Franco, don't you think his attitude would be somewhat predictable? After all, he is a committed revolutionary. Did he not participate in the armed attack on the palace of Anastazio Somoza in 1954? He is the classic machine-gun toting Jesuit, which combined with the fact that he is a poet of some accomplishment, strikes a rather dashing figure. I have a grudging respect for the man, but liberation theology is his guiding system of thought and it just doesn't jibe with tradition. Cindy Sherman seems the perfect denouement to Picassoism! I wonder how Charlemagne (aka Charles the Churl) would react to his name being given to such a display?
