Description
The Catholic church has explicitly opposed authoritarian rule in some
(but not all) Latin American countries. Although such action could be
explained as a desire to counter repression or to increase the quality
of life of its parishioners, A.J. Gill supplies evidence that the
underlying reason may be competition from evangelical Protestant
denominations. He compiled the data given in this data frame.
