Luke6_37:

Romero was killed because of his political views & activism, not because he believed in the Real Presence.

If you know this, then you should speak up. His killer was never caught and I am sure there would be a lot of interest if you know who killed him and why. It would be interesting to know that he was killed over theological differences and not political ones.

He was killed while celebrating Mass at a hospital. That is a fact. I prefer to stick with facts as they are said and avoid divisive speculation.

It is not speculation that Pope Francis emphasizes solidarity with the poor and marginalized. This is the heart of Liberation Theology. This should not be divisive. Mary herself proclaims it in the Magnificat. If you don’t get this, you don’t get the Gospel.

Oh lujke are you still pontificating about what the Pope believes. Your hope and dance that our Holy Father is somehow going to turn the living Church on her head is pure fantasy. It is well established the both Romero and Pope Francis have denounced the more sinister earmarks of LT. Yes help the poor and disenfranchised… No to communisn!

I never said anything about communism. You really need to read comments more accurately.

Of course you did, you just never used the words. Considering LT has marxist underpinnings you would need to remove those underpinnings to get to where PF is with regarding how we are to respond to the poor and disadvantaged.

That’s what you imagined I said. You are tilting at windmills.
