Vatican condemns writings of liberation theologian
2007-03-15
The Vatican on Wednesday condemned as "erroneous or dangerous" some of the writings of a well-known champion of liberation theology but took no immediate disciplinary action against the priest involved. It was the first such move under the nearly two-year papacy of Pope Benedict XVI, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger led the Vatican's crackdown on theologians judged to be perilously straying from church doctrine.

The Vatican began building its case in 2004 against the writings of the Rev. Jon Sobrino, a Spanish Jesuit, calling the procedure "urgent" because of the wide diffusion of his works in Latin America. The judgment by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith "deals specifically with the works, not with the person," Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told reporters. He said it was the congregation's "duty to explain what was found erroneous in the writings, and thus to alert the faithful."
I'd just burn him at the stake, myself. "Liberation theology" is a stench and an abominatioin.

#2  Liberation theology = Marxism hiding behind a Bible. Period.

For those "Christians" who think they can lie down with dogs (communists) and get up without fleas, let alone get up at all (given the hostility of the left to religion generally and Christianity in particular), best of luck.
