The Vatican office that safeguards doctrinal correctness is examining a Spanish Jesuit who is a prominent champion of liberation theology, a Vatican official said Monday.
Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi … said the congregation would report its conclusions soon, and this would lay out the case.
The Vatican has objected to liberation theology, citing its basis in Marxist analysis of society _ particularly the idea of class struggle and the promotion of social, political and economic justice for the poor.
The article is short, and each paragraph actually had something to say, which made it hard to whittle this down to three paragraphs.
The timing is interesting. I saw an article a couple of days ago reporting a plot by Liberation Theologians to hijack the upcoming Synod in South America. This looks like a very clear shot across their bow.
