It's all too obvious who their hosts and audiences are: bleeding heart leftist "Christians" who are more leftist than Christian. The key words pop right out at you: "Ecumenical Liberation Theology."

Those are a combination of all the favorite buzzwords of modernist, leftist, Marxist, dissenting Christians. Cross South American "liberation theology," a favorite among heretical Catholics who love Marx better than Jesus, with "Ecumenical," a favorite among Catholics and Protestants alike who favor dumbing down their religions to the lowest common denominator of fuzzy leftism, and what do you get?

Yet more antisemitism of the left, the new darling of the postmodernist generation of academics.

. The key words pop right out at you: "Ecumenical Liberation Theology."

This Marc Ellis is a prime example: Ellis.

He then spent two years working with the poor, and thereafter entered a three-year course of study and received his Ph.D. from Marquette University in Contemporary Intellectual and Religious History, where he was inducted into the Jesuit Honorary Society, Alpha Sigma Nu.

In 1980, Dr. Ellis joined the faculty of the Maryknoll School of Theology where he founded the Institute for Justice and Peace and the M.A. program in Justice and Peace Studies and was director of those programs until 1995.

The Jesuits of today are usually medium to far left, and the Maryknolls has been known for decades as a training ground for liberation theology types.

As for Baylor, it was a casualty of the "moderate" vs. conservative wars within the Southern Baptist Convention. The conservatives won the war for the most part, but the moderates hijacked Baylor Baptist University. It's not surprising that they'd hire a left-wing airhead like Ellis.
