Yet both the army and the rebels deny
responsibility for the atrocities.

Ochaeta said the report also will offer a thorough
evaluation of the Catholic Church's own role in the
war, though he did not elaborate.

It is commonly known that the church was closely
allied with the conservative governing elite during
the 1950s and 1960s. Church leaders openly
supported the 1954 coup.

But many church leaders turned to the left in the
latter part of the war and some even helped the
rebels. Twenty Catholic priests were assassinated
during the war, and hundreds of lower-ranking
Catholic workers also died.
