Those like Archbishop Romero that died when serving the people are true heroes these were real Christians because they did what they preached. Pope Benedict sits in the Vatican clad with gold and silk robes and rides around in the Pope mobile, Archbishop Romero rode around in a normal car and didnt have a troop of body guards. The Vatican's stances are why many Latin Americans have lost their faith in the church.

That's not true. Liberation theology doesn't promote a system where despotism can exist. It is actually the oposite. You may understand it once you learn by reading and being involved.

"Theology "in general is opposed to Christianity.

Jesus didn't promote getting a university degree in theology.

He taught the golden rule and personal devotion.

A college degree can't save anyone.

Nor can the redistribution of wealth.

Especially not when it is forced.

Parts of this video are just untrue.

The vast majority of liberation theologists play no role in politics whatsoever.

The Vatican is increasingly going into a tailspin of authority. It is just as outrageous for the Vatican to support the political right as it is for a few liberation theologians to support the left.

I have the utmost respect for liberation theologians and their revival of the human in Jesus together with the emphasis on social morality but it is a SCANDAL that they involve themselves in politics! Remember, Judas and the other zealots wanted to bring about the kingdom of God through politics, by making Jesus king. Jesus warned them not to tempt Him to pursue it. Politics is not the answer. If anything, Bible implies that the state is intimately tied with the devil.

Why don't you move away from the binary oppositions of protestant/catholic?

The protestant church in Germany were just as cowardly as their Catholic counterparts

All large religious institutions have a vested interest in supporting those at the top of power stuctures at the expense of the oppressed - that is the cold reality of monolithic religious organizations

This vid is about the Catholic church and thus my comment was directed as such. Both the UDA and IRA are enemies of Christ!

Why don't ya do some real research into the Church and WWII. Stop buying into the protestant myths. Israel and jews around the world credited the Church and the Pope with saving hundreds of thousands. Lets not forget that the Vatican was surrounded and cut off during WWII.
