To: It's me

"So sad to see that the Catholics of Brazil, and Latin America, are losing their faith."

I don't see it that way. Now the Catholics have competition so now there are "Evangelical Catholics" that have Bible studies and so forth. That portion of the Catholic Church that sold out to Liberation Theology had plenty of Protestant company. Some of the bravest Christians I've ever known were Salvadorans who were Catholics (I'm an independent Methodist).

To name one...Francisco Peccorini who was an ex-Jesuit but still very much a Catholic. He was killed when two AK-47s were emptied into his car while he was going to a television interview. He was 72 and an outspoken critic of Liberation Theology and the University of Central America and other Leftist dominated universities.

Maybe a thread shoud be started about all the Catholic martyrs in South America. I'm not talking about 200 or 300 years ago, I'm talking within the last century. I know there are Protestant Christian martyrs too, but somehow, these stories really don't seem to make a splash in the MSM.
