I have to say that I THINK you topic may be interesting (to me, at least), but I feel like I would like to see some concrete examples of, say, a religious tradition that can be traced to the Latin America church that is not irrelevant or derivative or ethnic, or a particular thing religious conservatives seemingly feel threatened about by increased institutional respect for other cultures and postmodernism?
And, like you, I don't want that paragraph above to sound intimidating in a sort of "ha! just show me a single relevant etc, etc, that the Latin American church has etc, etc -- I bet you can't!" manner at all. I really just want to get my mind around exactly what it is you are talking about first, so I don't assume you mean one thing when you weren't thinking of that at all.
(and I don't come from a strong technical philosophical background, so I may be a bit slow here:-)

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
