The appointment of Pope Francis brings up topics of both spirituality and science this week on Latin Pulse. Hear a discussion on the rise of evangelical Christianity over liberation theology. Then, the program explores the pope's views on same sex marriage, the LGBT community, and how the Catholic hierarchy failed to fight the ruling military junta in Argentina. Latin Pulse also reports on Latin America's rising cancer rates, and the Venezuelan government's allegations regarding the origins of the cancer that afflicted former President Hugo Chavez.
