This sub-page was created to chrinicle the President of Bolivia's policies that were objected to by the Roman Catholic Church in his country.--Wowaconia 15:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Bolivian Constitution quote is outdated. The current Bolivian Constitution (Article 4) states: "The State respects and guarantees the freedom of religion and spiritual beliefs, according to every individual's cosmovisions. The State is independent from religion". I hope you'll trust me on the article's translation. 190.11.66.84 (talk) 02:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC) Alfonso Encinas[reply]

Delete "Leading Protestant responds" section

I've found no description defining this man, Matthias Preiswerk, as a "leading Protestant," and the article gives undue weight to his contribution at a forum where he spoke. As far as I can find he is a theology professor, not even necessarily Protestant. He was not speaking on behalf of the Morales administration. The forum was not part of the National Educational Congress meeting, CNA just calls it "a forum," no context, and I find no mention of it anywhere else on the Internet. The CNA article spelled his name wrong and got the name of his agency wrong. And he might not even have represented that agency. The Wiki article quotes CNA's interpretation of an Archbishop's mild uncontroversial response, but that sentence has been edited out of the current article at CNA; it is in a Wayback snapshot (https://web.archive.org/web/20110522075209/http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/evangelical_theologian_calls_for_abandonment_of_christianity_and_return_to_bolivias_andean_religion/) The Wiki article follows the CNA article along to include Preiswerk's opinion on abortion (also Waybacked) and then adds a note on the Bolivian state stand on abortion- just not necessary.

I think that at the time, CNA was slapping up any hasty report that even slightly related to the Bolivian Church-state fracas in order to show drip-by-drip the danger the Church was in and this is an example. The school section relies almost entirely on that contemporary string of CNA articles.

Since it's no longer a current event, I think the church-school section can be edited down considerably anyway (and many of the then-current events, if kept, need to be followed up on). If someone wants to create a sub-section on popular discussion of the school topic in Bolivia at the time, I think the Preiswerk stuff could be included if cut down to a single sentence or so and if it outshines other sources, but otherwise the whole "leading Protestant" sub-section should be deleted as unnecessary.

Morales is not in office anymore

Whether you agree with his displacement or not, Morales is no longer the president of Bolivia. Jeanine Anez is the de jure president of Bolivia as decided by the parliament and recognized by many other countries. - AH (talk) 22:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Evo Morales and the Roman Catholic Church → Evo Morales and the Catholic Church – Per WP:CONSISTENCY with all other "X and Catholic Church" and "Catholic Church and Y" articles. PPEMES (talk) 01:26, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - it is more consistent with the rest of Wikipedia and the lack of other rites of the catholic church in bolivia make it unnecessary to make a distinction. - AH (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
