In “Behind the Purple Curtain,” ex-Dominican monk and evangelical missionary, Walter Montano, examines the intolerance of Roman Catholicism in countries where it enjoyed a religious majority and received the strong support of the local and national governments. Montano's focus is mainly on Latin American and the influence of the Catholic Church in politics and civil government and it's "often-lethal intolerance of Protestants within Latin America". However he also examines the political prestige and influence the Catholic Church once held in countries such as Spain, Poland, Latin America and North America.; 8vo .
