Bolivia Morales Criticizes Church
Oruro, Bolivia - Bolivian President Evo
Morales criticized on Monday some Catholic
Church leaders who support military
dictatorships.
" I would like to express my disagreement
with some Catholic Church bishops who
support or take part in military
dictatorships and in Bolivia defend the
landowners, " said Morales in a visit to
Quillacas (Oruro).
After being blessed in the Quillacas
Sanctuary, over 248 miles from La Paz,
Morales said that defending the landowners,
supporting dictatorships or taking part in a
coup is not praying or working for justice
and equality.
In July, Morales condemned the stand taken
by an archbishop in Tegucigalpa, who
justified the coup led by Roberto Micheletti
against constitutional President of Honduras
Manuel Zelaya.
He also criticized Bolivian Cardinal Julio
Terrazas, who failed to assume a stand of
condemnation of those responsible for the
coup staged by prefects in Santa Cruz, Beni,
Pando and Tarija in July and August of 2008.
