Notes
- 1.
Christianisms: In Latin America there are a growing number of new Christian churches presenting themselves as inspired by the Bible. They develop different theologies as the theology of prosperity and others. So Christianity became a plural label for different religious and political approaches. There is a competition among them to have more and more members.

Fixism means that some philosophical and theological contents were fixed as something that we cannot change. For example, some dogmas that have less meaning in our time. We keep them as revelation of God but they are in fact a production of masculine thoughts.
