As I said in another posting of this information on FR, Pope Francis is apparently referring to Venezuela, etc. in South America.
As member of FR we complain about the need for Mexico, too, to revise its law
which makes it a divided country consisting of the very, very rich and the poor.
Please read the following of what he said with that in mind:
“3. The essay asserted that because Francis is the first pope from Latin America, liberation theology can no longer “remain in the shadows to which it has been relegated for some years, at least in Europe.” Michael Lee, associate professor of theology at Fordham University in New York, said that the experience Francis had hailing from South America “is present in the person of Francis and in the Vatican now in a way that it never has been before.”
Bump on your Venezuela thought!
Liberation theology is used to justify situations like Venezuela—and to condemn American free markets.
