    Evangelical churches advancing in Argentina, even in Francis former archdiocese

    Their breakthrough in Argentina dates to 2001, when the country experienced the worst economic crisis in its recent history.

    The pastor's voice bellows through an old converted cinema in a rundown Buenos Aires barrio and hundreds of hands reach out in prayer. Though not a typical place of worship, Evangelical churches like this one are sprouting up all over Pope Francis' former archdiocese, as once staunchly Catholic Argentina battles an economic crisis that has plunged more than one-third of the nation into poverty.
