[edit] Cristian vs Christian

El Clarín, La Nación, Página 21 & es:Christian Von Wernich all give his name as "Christian". Page move? Lapicero 12:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

"Christian" is the German rendering of "Christian"; "Cristián" is the Spanish rendering. Christian von Wernich may have considerable German or Austrian ancestry -- but he was 'serving' the Argentine military as a chaplain. The aristocratic von apparently needs not be dropped in Argentina.

The decisive criterion is most likely... what was his official name while a chaplain in the Argentine military? That should decide.

....

Isn't it time for a list for clergy gone bad... clergy who turn terrorist (Paul Hill), serve a criminal regime and become war criminals (Josef Tišo, are caught in financial scandals or child sexual abuse? I'm not talking about the garden variety of adultery or heresies; those are either commonplace or a matter of judgment. Murder, torture, rape, theft, and child abuse are incontrovertible crimes. I'm not discussing politically-motivated trials (Mindszenty, Bonhoeffer). Although clergy are no less human than the rest of us, they are not above the law. They should be above major sins -- such as murder. --Paul from Michigan 04:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
