- Aug 20Fritz, This is interesting news. Bolsonaro is certainly a different class of leader for Brazil. He has confronted the tradition of liberation theology their head-on.However, that tradition is still alive and well, and will inform the “Synod on the Amazon” this fall in Rome, regrettably.Bolsonaro Has confronted the Venezuela-Bolivia-Nicaragua phalanx head-on as well. He has many powerful enemies, and has already survived a near fatal assassination attempt. One thing about the left, they know the enemy.
I regret that I never visited Brazil in all my Latin American travels (I don’t speak Portuguese, although it would’ve been easy 50 years ago to add it to my Spanish. Not so easy now!).Kind regardsChrisSent from my iPadOn Aug 20, 2019, at 9:20 AM, Frederick Wagner fjjwagner@... [evforum] <evforum@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
