On the US Attempts to Protestanize Latin America
Oct 16, 2004
In a 13 May 2004 speech at the Italian Senate, Ratzinger asserted that the United States is actively promoting a policy of “Protestantisation” in Latin America and the “dissolution” of the Catholic Church there in favour of “free Churches”.
(The Tablet, 18 September 2004) Ratzinger said the policy stems from an American conviction that the Catholic Church “cannot guarantee a stable political and economic system, and therefore fails as an educator of nations, while the free Churches will render possible a moral consensus and a democratic formation similar to that of the United States.”
