Anyone else in Latin America seeing evangelical pastors all over TikTok—but never Catholics?
My TikTok FYP keeps recommending evangelical pastors and churches. Sometimes to admire them, sometimes to mock them. But I almost never get Catholic content. Evangelicals are also gaining political power across Latin America.
This reminds me of declassified Cold War history: the CIA and US policy promoted Protestant/evangelical churches in the region to counter Liberation Theology and leftist movements. Is a softer version happening now through algorithms and US funding? I’m not claiming direct CIA proof today, but the pattern is hard to ignore.
