Meanwhile, the Evangelical movement has been growing by leaps and bounds. Unofficial estimates have Guatemala at 50% Protestant now.

Evangelical Hispanics can be a strange crew. I know a Colombian named Hector, who when I offered to buy him a cup of coffee declined. In response to my astonishment at a Colombian who doesn't drink coffee, he told me because he follows the Bible so I asked him if he was Mormon. He replied no but that he was "Christian" which means he was non-Catholic of either Evangelical or Fundamentalist persuasion (or maybe Pentecostal). Anyway, I told him there is NO prohibition in the Bible to drinking coffee since coffee wasn't discovered as a drink until at least a thousand years after it was written. Hector agreed with that observation but he still wouldn't drink coffee because he didn't want to take any chances that it might somehow be forbidden. Hey, might as well refrain from eatingg popcorn since that isn't addressed in the Bible as well.

Anyway, some of those Latin non-Catholics can be strange. Hector is okay but I think he is missing out on a lot in life because of his need to be "careful."

Speaking of Latin non-Catholics, one of the hottest chicks I ever "knew" (nudge nudge, wink wink) was a Jewish girl from Brazil. Lots of Judias Latinas in South Florida, and in Manhattan as well.
