Knowing How to Point a Finger
The president of Venezuela, Victor Chavez, apparently is taking the priest-king mantle upon himself in accusations against the Church here. Astonishing how relevant the work of René Girard -- mimetic theory -- is to the machinations of politicians. Especially to the "atheist" types who claim no such influence on themselves. Our Lord has a word for them in the Gospel of John, chapter 8. That bit about "your father was a murderer and a liar from the beginning."

The Holy Father made clear that the Church, far from doing damage to indigenous peoples of Central and South America, brought the universal Gospel to them, contra Chavez.
