Talk:Anti-clericalism in Latin America

Scope
I don't know much about this either, but there seem to be two basic common movements: a) 19th & 20th century "Liberal" governments persecuting the Church, and b) 20th & 21st century right-wing governments persecuting all or at least the Liberation theology wing of the church. A quick scan of Óscar Romero and Lib theology suggests we don't have a general article on either a or b - though see Terrible Triangle, & the template at Romero. Should both aspects be covered here? Probably. Johnbod (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This should be as comprehensive as possible, I think.  Xan  dar   02:33, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Freemasons
The article should probably mention that much of this type of anti-clericalism has historically been associated with the Grand Orient branch of Freemasonry. It is quite obvious to historians of Ibero-American politics that many of Latin America's political leaders in the 19th century were Freemasons, even though 99 % of the colonial and native population was at least nominally Roman Catholic. For instance, Bernardo O'Higgins, Simon Bolivar, José Martí, Francisco de Paula Santander and Benito Juárez were all members of Masonic lodges, which is more than just a mere coincidence.

"acknowledge allegiance to"
I've added a citation tag as the claim that 90% of the population "acknowledge allegiance to the Catholic Church" clearly needs referencing. I take it this phrase refers to practising rather than baptised Catholics, in which case I'm a bit doubtful about its accuracy given the rise of evangelical Protestantism in Brazil for example.Haldraper (talk) 12:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
