May the peace of God be with you M. de P.:
Apparitions began on 1983. For that time, Bergoglio was de General of
the Jesuit order of Argentina. There is silence about Bergoglio for
that period on the web (since 1980 to 1992 -different than the
situation of the Jesuits priests during the dictatorship) as well on
his biography. His work with the University El Salvador and the
participation in the "Guardia de Hierro" movement is previous (from
1966 to 1974, year when supposedly the movement was dissolved, I
personally believe that there are facts that points against that
dissolution on that year). In 1976 was the commencement of the military
dictatorship which lasted until 1983 and in 1979 Bergoglio was asked to
transfer the administration of the San Salvador University. This is the
year when he began as General of the Jesuits.
Bergoglio was named bishop on 1992. Since then, Bergoglio appears
frequently in the media.
I found more than one link where people asked themselves if Bergoglio
visited the Sanctuary of María del Rosario of San Nicola:
Here (Source)
is commented that Bergoglio should knew about
María del Rosario apparitions because he worked with
Monsignor Castagna in the Episcopal Conference since 2002. This fact
was confirmed through the following two links recounting the events
related to the vote and the candidates vying positions:
It is also commented that Bergoglio allowed the presentation of the
visionaries of Medugorge in Buenos Aires a little before his election
as Pope. This fact was also confirmed in the following link:
1) In this site it is stated (Source)
It's also reported that on at least three occasions he approved the
visits to parishes or a stadium in his archdiocese of two priests and a
visionary, Ivan Dragicevic, from the currently-under-Vatican-study site
of Medjugorje; the seer's visit came on March 4, just two weeks before
Francis's election as Pope.
It was Pope Francis who, as
a bishop, initiated much of the devotion in
South America to "Our Lady,
Undoer Of Knots" -- a mystical novena.
There is no information as
yet on whether he did visit, however, and if
so, what his discernment was. (talking about the apparitions of San
Nicola).
Was Cardinal Bergoglio --
not yet a bishop -- aware of San
Nicolás?
On September 28, 2008, some 200,000 people participated in the
Eucharistic celebration near the Sanctuary of Mary of the Rosary of San
Nicolás, for the 25th Anniversary of the appearances of Our Lady
in Argentina. The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by the new
bishop of San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Héctor Cardelli,
who in his homily stressed that "when Mary calls us together, the
family is reinforced, because the Mother is bringing her children
together." It is difficult to think that Cardinal Bergoglio -- now in
that conference of bishops -- was unaware of this. 2) In the next
link (Source) the following is mentioned (google translated):
The first comment on the blog reads:
"Monsignor Domingo Salvador Castagna,
bishop of St. Nicholas, appointed
a commission of six priests who have examined spiritual phenomena and
messages, as well as a team of
doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists from the University of
Salvador, which issued its findings, positive in
1985-1986. They found no doctrinal error in messages, or hallucinations
or pathological phenomena in Gladys".
The first blog response to this comment is:
"I THINK BEING CARDINAL, BERGOGLIO
NEVER WAS AT SAN NICOLAS ... MAYBE
I'M WRONG ... IT SHOULD BE FIND ...

One of the components of "la Guardia de Hierro" was a group that,
today, is classified as a sect.
They initially were devoted to
María del Rosario and recognized themselves as members of
the Catholic Church and shared the line of thinking of Peron. After his
death, the ideology of the group was transformed and began to believe
that the Virgin Mary' messages were directed to the ending of the
temporal government of Argentina.
The Bishop of San Nicolas de los Arroyos, Monsignor Hector Cardelli
(photo), issued a statement noting that, as pastor of the Catholic
Church and due to the broadcasts messages called 'Pedro Segundo,
Servant of the servants loyal to the King Christ Jesus', I made know
that this person, as well as their followers, are not agents of the
Catholic Church."
It is reported that the leader of this sect is Segundo Rolon, who was
deputy of the province of Buenos Aires by "Guardia de Hierro" in the
period 83/87 at Herminio Iglesias's hand."
He added that "in 1988, Rolon laity formed the Order of Maria del
Rosario de San Nicolas. At first, the worship team to the appearance of
the Virgin was formed with members or sympathizers of the Iron Guard
nationwide. In the beginning the group was presented as part of the
Church and with a strong Peronist content, but by the end of the
millennium, Rolon and other members began to argue that they received
messages from the Virgin and Jesus, which will begin to increase
tension with Catholic authorities in the city of Saint Nicholas, "said
Saddle.
They recruited people on the 25th of September when the pilgrims went
to the anniversary of the Virgin's apparition at San Nicola.
As a side note: To the eyes of the priest of the following news,
preparation for a sacrament was not necessary to Bergoglio!:

"Bergoglio, says Father 'Pepe' - has always believed deeply in the
power of grace, the grace that is donated through the sacraments. And
always believed more in the power of grace than in the importance of
proper preparation prior catechetical educational paths. The Church
should encourage and facilitate people's faith. " Abundant Blessings!
