The incident referred to took place before Pope Francis was a bishop . It was during his time as the Jesuit Provincial of members of the Society of Jesus in Argentina .

Two members of the Society of Jesus were abducted in 1976 by Argentina's military government which was suspicious of their work among slum-dwellers .

Sergio Rubin is an author who , based on two years of conversation with Pope Francis , then Cardinal Bergoglio , Archbishop of Buenos Aires , wrote a book about him .

Sergio Rubin has said that Pope Francis " took extraordinary , behind-the-scenes action to save them . "
