From this summary, the document appears to be a Marxist analysis, even examining the problem of state power, and advocating something which sounds a good deal like the dictatorship of the proletariat, though that is not the term used. The statement was presented by some 500 priests, mostly Chileans and Argentines. It is significant that Guatemala's tightly censored newspapers would...
