Câmara was not only a veritable icon of liberation theology, but was also an opponent of Humanae Vitae, an advocate of women's ordination and divorce for Catholics, and a vocal supporter, at one time or another, of Communist Russia under Khrushchev, Communist China under Mao, and Communist Cuba under Castro, justly earning the title "the Red Archbishop." And this after having been a pro-Nazi activist in the 1930s!

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.

Postulator for Oscar Romero Beatification, Abp. Vincenzo Paglia, Investigated For Embezzlement

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.

It’s like any church that gets careless. God eventually gives them what they ask for.

OK, understood. But I mean what the process is targeting Camara to be. This screaming socialist. Based on other “patron saint of” associations, being the patron saint of Marxism sounds like a logical goal for Camara.

Latin America future on Pope Francis’s dreams: A Latin-America where Christ embrace Carlos Marx

In 1998 Archbishop Bergoglio wrote “that the political and social system closest to the social doctrine of the catholic church was socialism like the Cuban whenever the idea of God was added to him.”

The Marxist liberation Pope is making saints with the same scrupulous care as the Nobel Peace Prize winners are chosen by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

After the canonization of radical Marxist archbishop Helder DaCamera it is not farfetched to speculate that Francis would elevate Che Guevara to the altars. His admiration for the cold mass murder monster is such that before visiting the Holy Land Pope Francis said he was going as the Che Guevara for the Palestinian people.

The Magisterium of the Church has condemned unequivocally Socialism as intrinsically evil. Catholic faith is incompatible with Marxism.

For Francis holding firm to Catholic doctrine and practice seems like an act of disloyalty to the pope, yet to acquiesce to his attacks to the Magisterium is to betray the Church.

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

“Are the Communists, and not the Jesuits, who are winning the battle of atheism.” Igor Bonchkovski in New Times, n.40, Moscow, 1975

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.”

“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.

“Cardinal O’Malley calls on Congress to support food stamps”

“...O’Malley said Tuesday’s service reminded him of a similar event he hosted at Catholic University four decades ago, when he was serving as executive director of the Washington archdiocese’s office of social ministry. To celebrate Human Rights Day, marked for recognition by the United Nations each Dec. 10, O’Malley said he had invited Dom Hélder Câmara to speak...”

Two declarations sum up liberation theology. The first, by Dom Helder’s co-national, Leonardo Boff: “What we are proposing is Marxism and historical materialism in theology.” (9) The second, by the Peruvian, Gustavo Gutiérrez, founding father of the current: “What we mean here regarding liberation theology is the involvement of the revolutionary political process”. (10) Gutiérrez also explains the sense of this involvement: “Only by going beyond a society divided into classes. (…) Only eliminating private property of the wealth created by human work, will we be able to lay down the bases for a more just society. It is for this that the efforts to project a new society in Latin America are tending more and more towards socialism”. (11)

Who is Helder D’Camara?
