I saw an Instagram short (from a former ex missionary) that sort of talked about something similar. It talked about how protestant missionary work was used, in order to crush catholic liberation theory.
Also it makes sense to me now how my catholic religion teacher never gave a shit about my Marxist rhetoric, but my other german teachers were willing to attack me. anyhow though it still must be said that the catholic church still has anti-marxist demons too, it just depends on where you are.
This was so predictable
