Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Francis feels an special attraction for Marxist tyrants, Evo Morales, the Castro brothers, and every other Latin American Communist agitator that share his hatred for capitalism and U.S. The first act of Pope Francis as soon as took power was to call back to his side all the leaders of the Marxist liberation theology that were condemned and ostracized by H.H. John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Leonardo Boff, the most radical Marxist of all the liberation theology leaders was called by Francis to help him write the Encyclical on the Environment.

It was a nauseated spectacle to see the “familiar and friendly” dialog among the Pope and Satan in Cuba regardless the tens of thousands murdered by the Castro brothers and more than 55 years of brutal oppression of the Cuban people. "Francis's public words of esteem for Fidel in his first speech in Cuba, the most reasonable understanding that we can have of their meeting is that this was an expression of Francis' deep sympathy for Fidel Castro and much of what he stands for."

Before Francis trip to the Holy Land he proudly portrayed himself as the Che Guevara of the Palestine people"

How would have been the Castro’s sycophants in control of the American media if Pius XII had have a friendly and familiar encounter with Hitler of Stalin and expressed publicly his deep sympathy for the tyrants?
