Priest imprisoned in Argentina hopes to return home
The Rev. James M. Weeks, 42, a Roman Catholic priest, says he looks forward to returning to Argentina someday after a 13 day detention and expulsion by the Argentine military. He arrived in Lancaster, praised his release secured by U S embassy officials, and said he aims to reunite with his religious community. The arrest stemmed from alleged subversive literature and recordings, with the five seminarians still in Cordoba awaiting release.
