It defies belief that Câmara has just been declared (on May 3) a "Servant of God" by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which gave a green light to the official opening of the local process for this blatant heretic's "beatification." There is no way this could have been done without Francis' approval.
So what would he eventually become, the patron saint of Marxism?
This is the automated verse that popped up today:
Proverbs 24:30-34 (NIV)
I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest — and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
This is quite something.
There is a pretty active Catholic Caucus on FR.
I’m not sure why there is not more discussion on this.
According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, which cited the prosecutor for the city of Terni in central Italy, Paglia is alleged to be one of the instigators of the fraud.
Imagine that! Romero's postulator is caught in another fraud.
Who will Francis beatify next, Che?
>> It is through Fidel Castro that the Holy Spirit sends us the message.
I love my Catholic brothers and sisters; they deserve better than this clown pope and his minions.
People think they understand a thing because they have a slogan. The churches relationship with the varieties of liberation theology is complex and nuanced.
Ideologues always see ideology in everything as economists see the world through economics. God has made a promise, I believe Him.

“At the same time we Christians are children of a Virgin and a whore (Ivan Illich) and believe that this is the truth.” Ernesto Cardenal, priest and then Minister of Nicaragua, in the biography of J. L. González, Salamanca, “Follow me”, 1978, p.23

“The national planning of the Society of Jesus in the United States should, following the example of China, become an international planning. Towards the convergence of problems in all areas of the world around a single theme: the construction in different times and forms of a world Communist society.”

“Socialist societies are very ethical, clean, physically and morally. If it weren’t for his materialist doctrine it could be argued that they carried out the ethical teaching of the social doctrine of the Church.” Leonardo Boff on his return from a trip to Moscow, cfr.ABC, 16-VII-87, p.45
“Marxism provides a scientific understanding of the mechanisms of oppression in the world, at local and national levels; It offers the vision of a new world which must be built as a socialist society, the first step to a classless society, where genuine brotherhood can be hopefully possible, and by which deserves sacrifice everything.” Declaration of the theological Association of India in the magazine Vidyajyoti, of the Theological Faculty of the Jesuits in Delhi, April, 1986.
Although the Peruvian Father Gustavo Gutierrez is recognized as the putative father of liberation theology, in Peru most of the Jesuit bishops remained faithful to the Doctrine of the Church and repudiated and fought against the Marxist liberation movement.
