Pope Francis: ‘Liberation Theology Was Good for Latin America'
2017-01-28
[Breitbart] In a controversial interview, Pope Francis has publicly defended Liberation Theology, calling it a "positive thing" in Latin America.

In his lengthy interview last week with the leftist Spanish daily El País, the Pope said that "Liberation Theology was a good thing for Latin America," but also recognized that it had "deviations" that needed to be corrected.

Skipping down

In a striking revelation in 2015, the highest ranking Cold War defector asserted that the KGB had created Liberation Theology, exporting it to Latin America as a means of introducing Marxism into the continent.

Ion Mihai Pacepa, a 3-star general and former head of Communist Romania’s secret police who defected to the United States in 1978, has been called "the Cold War’s most important defector." During the more than ten years that Pacepa worked with the CIA, he made what the agency described as "an important and unique contribution to the United States."

He is reported in fact to have given the CIA "the best intelligence ever obtained on communist intelligence networks and internal security services."

"Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity. What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians," Pacepa said.

In his role as doctrinal watchdog, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger referred to Liberation Theology as a "singular heresy" and a "fundamental threat" to the Church.

#9  What can the Church do about a Pope who is delusional? Can they get the old one back temporarily? He's still available, after all.

Boy Howdy! They sure got all the right buzzwords incorporated. Does that Commie a**hole know what happens to deviationists and is he going to pull that trigger?

#2  I remember when the Catholic church was rock solid in its defense of what it considered theological purity. And I'm not Catholic. I (openly) admired their unwillingness to bend to whatever direction the wind was blowing at the moment.

That all went out the window when this HERETIC of a Pope took office.
