The Church and Latin-American Politics

on BBC Radio 3

What visitors to Latin America should notice is that the tortured body of Christ as represented in folk carvings of the local churches, is taken from life; these poor people are showing their God in the forms of their own bodies.

In the last of three talks, The Rev Dr Edward Norman, Dean of Peterhouse, Cambridge, who has been travelling in South America, concentrates on Peru, and reflects on the contrast between official Catholicism and the popular religion of the masses.
