For the ESH co-pastor those values are identified with the Catholic heritage. He says that \u2018characteristic of the Catholic-Iberian society does not have very deep virtues and values. It represents a divorce between ethics and confession\u2019 (A8ESH). He signals out some cultural vices such as lying, irresponsibility, poor quality of work and corruption, which affect the conduct of many Guatemalans.\u000AThis observation does not only come from the NPS, but also from other authors as John. A. Mackay who affirms that the Iberian soul modelled the Latin American mentality from the conquest. For example, he mentions exacerbated individualism manifested in an \u2018insatiable acquisition impulse\u2019 and the \u2018lack of social instinct\u2019. The conquistador wanted riches and possessions not to accumulate them but to waste them. He did not look for riches as work instruments, but as means of emancipating himself from the need to work. He affirms that the lack of social instinct produced resistance to the success of collective businesses and became embodied in Spanish regionalism (1988: 31-49). For example, in the Guatemalan context these attitudes are translated as a dislike of manual work and an inclination to be ostentatious. White collar workers like the government bureaucrats are valued more than those employed in physical work in whatever field. This vision can be contrasted with the values of Protestant ethics which has a more holistic vision of the worker and his job.\u000AWhy is this fundamental change in values needed according to the NPS? Caballeros affirms that \u2018values are the determining factor because they give \u201Cmoral qualification\u201D to actions and to the individual in society\u2019. He says that Latin America needs a paradigm shift with regard to cultural values inherited from the past. He underlines that \u2018the values which define the Anglo-Saxon culture are totally opposite to those of the Catholic-Iberian, and the result is obvious\u2019. Following Weber he says that \u2018the effects of Protestantism have created a series of values and virtues which led the North American Protestants to reap the fruits of capitalism, freedom, justice and uncountable blessings which come as a result of biblical teaching\u2019(2002b, 105, 109). In this affirmation he points out the effect of Christian\u000A200\u000A
