Francis 'moved' by Carlotto grandson

(see related) (ANSA) - Vatican City, August 6 - Pope Francis, who is Argentinian, was touched by news Wednesday that Buenos Aires-based human rights activist Estela de Carlotto has recovered her grandson, who was abducted at birth by the military dictatorship of 1978-1983.
    "The pope was very moved, as all of us Argentinians are," said Vatican master of ceremonies, Monsignor Guillermo Karcher.
    "It touches upon a part of our history, and the fact that Mrs. Carlotto found her grandson is a ray of light".
    Carlotto met with Francis in 2013 to ask for help in the decades-long search for the missing grandchildren of the 'desaparecidos', the missing, so-called because many of their bodies have never been found.
    The military dictatorship abducted, tortured and murdered an estimated 30,000 people it said were dissidents, keeping an estimated 500 babies born to pregnant detainees.
    The children were sold or put up for adoption, and were sometimes brought up by the those who murdered their parents.
    Carlotto asked the pope to open Vatican and Church archives in Argentina documenting the years in question, in hopes of tracking down the missing children.
    "You can count on me," Francis told her at the time.
