About Carlos Alberto Sacheri
Carlos Alberto Sacheri (October 22, 1933, in Buenos Aires – December 22, 1974) was an Argentine Thomist philosopher and scholar. He was murdered in front of his family by ERP members on 22 December 1974 in Buenos Aires; he was targeted because of his perceived anticommunism. He was a disciple of the priest Julio Meinvielle (a well-known doctrinarian of the Argentine nationalist movements). The most widespread of his publications was The Clandestine Church (1971), a denunciation of modernism and liberation theology from traditional positions. == Biography == Sacheri was born on October 22, 1933. He joined the Argentine Catholic Action during his high school studies. He entered the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires to study law, but he dedicated little time to his first profession; he met Father Meinvielle during his studies, and joined the summation groups that he directed. Influenced by the reading of Thomas Aquinas, played by Meinvielle, Sacheri began studying philosophy at the UBA. He graduated in 1957, and with a scholarship from the Arts Council of Canada he moved to Laval University (Quebec) to study philosophy under the direction of the Canadian Thomist Charles de Koninck. He graduated in 1963, and five years later obtained his doctorate with a thesis on The Existence and Nature of Deliberation. He returned to Argentina in 1967, where he took over the work of the Cité catholique, in place of engineer Roberto Gorostiaga.
