Vehicles pass by a billboard about Pope Francis’ visit on the road leading from El Alto to La Paz, 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 billboard reads, “Welcome Pope Francis. Bolivia’s pluri-national state, Justice, equity and inclusion”. Picture taken July 2. REUTERS/David Mercado
