It's Not Our Fault, They're Just Ignorant...
Such was the attitude of Bishop Mario de Gasperin of Queretaro, Mexico, interviewed in an Aug 24 'Zenit News Agency' article titled, "Why the Church Isn't Responsible for Social Underdevelopment."
Recently some Latin American politicians have dared to come out and say that the Catholic Church is responsible for the poverty in Latin America! Fighting back for Rome, Gasperin blames the politicians for the poverty there. He was asked:
"What is the origin of the insistence of some political leaders in Mexico and Latin America in faulting the Church for the underdevelopment and poverty of large sectors of the population?"
Below are some reasons Gasperin gave for why he thinks the Catholic Church is being blamed:
1. "I think it is ignorance."
2. "Their ignorance is such that they feel they can opine in such a nonsensical way..."
3. "Politicians themselves...are the ones directly responsible for underdevelopment, ignorance, lack of health services - in a word, poverty."
Hmmmm......but such statements actually demonstrate the FAILURE of Catholicism in Latin America!!
1. After 500 years of total Catholic control in Latin America - people are still "IGNORANT?" How many more centuries will Rome need before the people become "UN-ignorant?"
2. We see the real Catholic attitude to those who dare challenge Rome - they are automatically dismissed as "ignorant." In the Catholic mind, I guess only Roman bishops are allowed to "opine." The pope and his church have always hated the liberty of free speech.
Yes - the poverty of Latin America IS the fault of 500 years of blasphemous Roman Catholic idolatry.
From the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego, people have been lied to by the Catholic Church. Blessings will come to Latin America only when they tear down their altars, kick out their priests, and receive Christ by faith ALONE. Please pray that God blesses Latin America with Reformation.
