What Beck said was that the church Obama used as his vehicle to conversion and attended for 20 years, until his election to the presidency, preached Liberation Theology (to be exact, Black Liberation Theology). Beck also mentioned that Liberation Theology is not what he was embracing since it is more Marxism than Christianity. The fact that Rev. Wright preaches
Black Liberation Theology is pretty well documented. That Liberation Theology has its roots in Marxism and is not a real Christian doctrine is taught by the Catholic Church:
- This all-embracing conception thus imposes its logic and leads the “theologies of liberation” to accept a series of positions which are incompatible with the Christian vision of humanity. In fact, the ideological core borrowed from Marxism, which we are referring to, exercises the function of a determining principle. It has this role in virtue of its being described as “scientific”, that is to say, true of necessity. In this core, we can distinguish several components.
- According to the logic of Marxist thought, the “analysis” is inseparable from the praxis, and from the conception of history to which this praxis is linked. The analysis is for the Marxist an instrument of criticism, and criticism is only one stage in the revolutionary struggle. This struggle is that of the proletarian class, invested with its mission in history.

In fact, it is the transcendent character of the distinction between good and evil, the principle of morality, which is implicitly denied in the perspective of the class struggle.
