Judaism is very decentralized. This has it's pros and cons. One pro as we see in this case there is less need for politicking. A con is that there is rarely a unified voice when it comes to Judaism's opinion on events.

This decentralization allowed a people dispersed throughout every nation on Earth to survive and thrive despite the lack of central leadership.

On April 15, 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint against Bergoglio, accusing him of conspiring with the junta in 1976 to kidnap two Jesuit priests, whom he, as superior of the Society of Jesus of Argentina in 1976, had asked to leave their pastoral work following conflict within the Society over how to respond to the new military dictatorship, with some priests advocating a violent overthrow. Bergoglio's spokesman has flatly denied the allegations. No evidence was presented linking the cardinal to this crime.
