The Latin American Church is extremely significant in global
Catholicism, accounting for a substantial percentage of the World s
total Catholic population. Demonstrating remarkable vitality, the
Latin American Church has played a major role in local political
and social arenas, particularly during the transitions from
military to democratic rule in Chile and Peru.
However, recent changes imposed by the Vatican may come to
redefine the Chilean and Peruvian Church's involvement in politics
and social issues. Professors Michael Fleet and Brian H. Smith
argue that throughout the 1980s, the Vatican has been moving to
restrict the Chilean and Peruvian Church's social and political
activities, reimposing more hierarchical control on the local
Church through the appointment of conservative bishops.
As all Catholics work to understand the Church within the
context of the global community, The Catholic Church and Democracy
in Chile and Peru deserves the attention of thinking Catholics
throughout the world.
