Sorry, but I guess I am like that New Testament Icon, the "Doubting Thomas".
Since the current Pope is from Argentina and has historical ties to the Argentinian Junta of the 70's and 80's, it's hard to imagine how any Protestant Christian Fascists could be positioned to the right of the Catholic Church in Latin America.
Just off the top of my head, this looks like a "bait and switch" operation.
So Mike Pompeo is a member of a Evangelical Presbyterian sect. As I am a very active Methodist who was raised Presbyterian, I can say pretty much for sure that any "breakaway" Presbyterian Church (which I have never heard of before) couldn't possibly be a conspiratorial covert ops force of any kind whatever.
Mainline Protestant churches are kind of "on the ropes" due to the mainstream media brainwashing that convinces people that Jesus was a Republican and that Evangelicals should officially become Republican.
If there is a resurgence of right wing Fascism in Latin America, (which is apparently the case), then the blame would overwhelmingly point to the "usual suspects", i.e. the people who gave us Hitler, Mussolini and Franco.
This leopard can't really change its stripes. We are talking about an institution that has been continually in operation since the first century AD. If somebody thinks that Latin America could up and reject Catholicism in favor of The Assembly of God or similar narrow-minded and hard-bitten sects, then I would personally have to see a heck of a lot of proof before I would buy that sort of concept.
I think that P T Barnum said that "there's a sucker born every minute." This "Evangelical Latin America" theory seems to be a theory invented to convince a very naive part of the world (and American) population.
