I'm from Latam too and it really varies. Also the bar is literally on the floor with American Catholics. The Latam Catholics I've had experiences with at least don't hate poor people as much.

Anyway, I'm not gonna defend Catholics. Some of them are good people, many rural priests I've met are liberation theology pilled but at the end of the day they still support all the homophobic and transphobic shit the church does by being part of it.
