'"Ratzinger's presence is a disaster for Latin America," snapped Bernardo Barranco, a Mexican sociologist and expert on religion, during a telephone interview from Rome.
"He took it upon himself to liquidate liberation theology. He didn't understand Latin America," said Barranco, referring to the blend of the Gospel with radical politics that rose in this region.'
How much you wanna bet that this pendejo is non-practicing and, possibly, non-Catholic?

"[Ratzinger] took it upon himself to liquidate liberation theology. He didn't understand Latin America," Bernardo Barranco, who said this, can't seem to cope with the possibility that his first sentence is not inconsistent with his second statement.
That is, maybe he liquidated liberation theology because he DOES understand Latin America. :-)

Liberation theology is neither. The concept of attaching Communism to Catholicism is abhorrent.
JPII was absolutely opposed to liberation theology.

Liberation theology.
They can have Liberation theology anytime they want. Just not in the Catholic church.

But he's an expert! It says so right there!
" Across the developing world, there was barely disguised disappointment particularly among many Latin Americans, who make up roughly half the world's Catholics"
So this journalist ran out and took a representative poll of all non-anglo Catholics in central and south america, crunched the numbers and got it to print in the hours since the announcement was made. His story was already written in anticipation of a European Pope being named.
He liquidated liberation theology? The melding of a distorted Christanity with atheistic marxism, cultural relativism and "human rights" (abortion, homosexuality and land reform-redistribution of the wealth)?
Hmmm. Still looking for the down side of this....
