But in some countries, at least, they form a vocal, dedicated cadre determined to influence the masses through conscientizacion-"consciousness raising"-or as some now prefer, politizacion. Chile's radical priests' organization, which is led by Jesuit Gonzalo Arroyo, the congress organizer, is called the Group of 80-in a nation that has 2,500 priests.

...chance of stealing the show from Milnes and Raimondi. The opening-night lead, though, is the biggest plum the Met can offer. In the hy-pertense backstage world of grand opera, Arroyo is a refreshingly unpretentious anti-diva-a cool, relaxed, blend of fun and kindness.
