ROME - A Bolivian cardinal has drawn criticism for his open support of President Evo Morales at a political rally for the long-serving socialist leader.
Cardinal Toribio Ticona called on Catholics to support the indigenous leader on Monday, saying, “Moving forward, we must always go with President Evo Morales, not only do we have to speak, but we must all work [in favor of him].”
The prelate’s remarks caused concern among opposition leaders and also the local Catholic Church, which distanced itself from Ticona’s remarks.
Bolivia will have national elections this October, and Morales, who’s been president since 2006, will seek reelection.
Speaking about the upcoming poll, Ticona said “we must all work and go everywhere,” showing Morales’s “happy supporters” to the rest of Bolivia.
The Bolivian Bishops’ Conference issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that the public support the cardinal had given Morales was “personal” and doesn’t represent the position of the Catholic Church.

Probably on orders from Bergoglio.
No doubt.
I sure Cardinal Toribio Ticona has the full support of his dictator pope.
I remember being in a Catholic elementary school in 1956. The nuns said to tell our parents to vote for President Eisenhower. They were concerned about the Communists.
How disgusting. I guess the Catholic Church in that area must be getting paid off to say such filth.
Voe for Lego Eric Estrada!
