Hugo Chavez and his allies may win secular elections, but religious Latins, both Catholic and evangelical, have largely rejected left-wing religion...., One (Small) Step Forward In Latin America, Mark D. Tooley, Front Page Magazine, 2/23/2007
Malachi Martin spent the better part of twenty years decrying the overwhelming and destructive onslaught of the Left on the Catholic Church, not only in Latin America, but in the United States and Europe. In his last published novel, Windswept House, 1998, his not-very-subtle roman a clef about the troubles besetting John Paul II, troubles not from the East but from the West, the attitude depicted in the Vatican was one of virtual surrender. The future would be one where the Pope was a solitary witness against the secular tide, a Pilgrim hoping to lead some of the people out of the morass. But Malachi Martin wasn't the Pope. And, Papa Karol, through suppression of liberation theology, and the appointment of conservative Cardinals and Bishops, did not surrender. It's having an effect. Read the rest at Front Page. Religious faith matters. Why do you think the Reds tried so hard for fifty years to undercut the Church?
