Catholics and Communists in Latin America:
Some Aspects of the Problem

I was expelled from the Communist Party 
a long time before I was excommunicated
from the Catholic Church.

after I was expelled from the Communist Party.

    The ERP was not “the most extreme faction,” they were all equally left; Daltons murder led to the creation of the RN, the 5th org if the FMLN, so Dalton had joined 1of 4 existing orgs; and while his books were “banned,” most were piblished by the press st the Jesuit University — the UCA— and were widely known and available.
