Religião e Conflitos Políticos na Venezuela: católicos e evangélicos frente ao governo de Hugo Chávez

Abstract: O Governo Chávez e o CristianismoQualquer que seja a opinião que se tenha sobre o presidente da Venezuela Hugo Chávez e seu governo, se concorda, sem sombra de dúvidas, que esse governo se distingue dos anteriores por duas importantes tendências. Primeiro, representa um retorno, dessa vez facilitado por um discurso revolucionário de esquerda, de um projeto, deixado de lado pelo neoliberalismo dos anos 80 e 90, de construção nacional capitaneada pelo Estado ( Hugo Chávez emergiu no cenário nacional e internacio… Show more

“…Chávez always described himself as Catholic, but he took pains to empower evangelicals.

And in the second term of the Chavez presidency, the Church as a whole took on a more conciliatory stance.…”
