A traffic guard walks past as a bilboard announcing Pope Francis's visit is seen on the side of a road in El Alto July 2, 2015. When Pope Francis visits Bolivia next week, he will discover a nation that cherishes animal sacrifices and pagan worship and where relations between indigenous communities and the Roman Catholic Church have been strained. The country's first indigenous president, Evo Morales, has frequently clashed with the church. The words on the bottom of the bilboard read, “We announce the joy of gospel”.
