BOLIVIA FORBIDS CHRISTIANITY

Not sure how this is - but it is reminiscent of laws in China, then Russia and now this backward, communistic, 3rd-world "what Trump allegedly said".....

The Divine hammer will drop on this.  A country is either open for the open preaching of the Gospel, or it is open for some bad juju to happen:

Christianity forbidden in Bolivia.Bolivia's President Evo Morales has made a change to the country's Penal Code and Constitution.
In the Penal Code, which will have eighteen months to enter into force, article 88 was amended. The Code was approved on December 15, 2017.
The new Code directly attacks the Church because, according to this new article 88, the churches can no longer meet, and if the pastors meet, they will be committing a crime. They can not evangelize, they can not invite anyone to participate in a religious service, because these things will be considered a crime. Religious freedom is being curtailed right now. In the chapter that has been changed from the Penal Code this crime is punished with imprisonment from seven to twelve years, and in addition a fine whose value has not yet been established will have to be paid. But any person who evangelizes, transports or otherwise takes or receives persons for this purpose shall be considered a criminal.
In section 11 the Code mentions the recruitment of people to participate in religious and worship organizations. These acts will be punished with imprisonment and economic compensation. Moreover, in the body of the message that came along with the Code, those who evangelise, those who call people, those who bring home, those who speak on the street or work on religious themes are mentioned as examples. All of these will be framed in the same penalty. Those who bring people into their home, to gather as if it were a church, will be framed in the same crime of inviting a church. Religious organizations and services may not receive persons in any way, which will be considered a crime. Pastors, priests, leaders, and people working in the religious and evangelical areas will commit this crime. Paragraph 2 of article 88 provides for imprisonment from 7 to 12 years, plus the economic reparation. The organizations that incur in this crime, in addition, will lose the right to their houses, the administration of their houses, their establishments, and the building of the church will happen to be of the state.
A local priest also denounced that Evo Morales created the Catholic Apostolic Church Renewed Plurinational State. This Church has a sectarian philosophy to attack the Catholic Church as well. Evo Morales participated in the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, and when he returned to Bolivia, he reinforced the founding of this new Apostolic Church of the Plurinational State. The Bolivian Bishop Monsignor Cristóvão Pialasky denounced in a very complex and great communication that the government of Evo Morales intends to divide the faith of the Bolivians and put them against the Roman Church.

  1. Checked the sources in Spanish on this one...definitely NOT fake. And really sad to see this.

    This is where socialism invariably leads. A new religion, a religion of the State, replaces the traditional religions of man. And in this religion, there is no tolerance for minorities. Just as Elder Maxwell prophesied all the way back in the 80s.
