Jesus already addressed the issue of liberation theology. In Matthew 26, Mark 14 and John 12. He said all that needs to be said about it. Period. And that's why the Gospel is NOT a social Gospel. The ills of the world can only be solved by the Great Physician, not mortal attempts by ungodly rulers.

The disciples were indignant about the waste of money and thought it should be redistributed to the poor. Jesus said "The poor will always be with you."

The Pope...and a whole LOT of people...need to understand that being poor is not a man's primary need. SALVATION through Christ alone is that primary need. Preach THAT and righteousness...and everything else will fall into place. Once you have that, God gives you the grace to know how to abound...or be abased...to have plenty or want (Philippians 4:12).

The Pope...and a whole LOT of people...need to ALSO understand that

1) government doesn't create equality or prosperity, it creates MISERY AND POVERTY and

2) FREEDOM and the FREE MARKET ECONOMY are the only things on earth that creates HAPPINESS, PEACE, and WEALTH.
