A person holds a paperback copy of Introducing Liberation Theology by Leonardo Boff and Clodovis Boff. The cover is cream-colored with a large blue Chi‑Rho symbol centered on the front. The authors’ names appear in bold black text at the top, and the title is printed below the symbol. Part of the person’s hand and leg are visible behind the book.

What responsibility does the State bear in asking whether moral justification for violence depends on religious endorsement?

6/6

A red poster with a faint line‑drawing of Saint Óscar Romero in the background. At the top, the white Ignatian Solidarity Network logo appears. Centered on the poster is a large white quote from Romero: “A church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a gospel that does not unsettle, a word of God that does not get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that does not touch the real sin of society in which it is being proclaimed—what gospel is that?” His name and the date April 16, 1978 appear below the quote.

Amen. @ignatiansolidarity.bsky.social

#LiberationTheology

Leo understands that the lasting power of the gospels stems from a message of liberation.
#LiberationTheology

Fortunately, Pope Leo’s background in Latin America gives him particular insight into the role sincere followers of the gospel must play in confronting the hypocritical use of religion by authoritarians like Trump.
#LiberationTheology

I’m in the exact same boat! Leo’s #LiberationTheology is the closest thing we have to a Marxist voice in our public discourse today. Again and again he is alone in speaking sanely in a world of insane greed and power grabbing.

One of the less known (outside of academic theology), but still highly important, early Latin American liberation theologians was José Porfirio Miranda ( #Mexico). He was a Jesuit until 1971.

Pope Leo’s Easter message to the world: ‘Let those who have weapons lay them down!’ VATICAN CITY (RNS) — As wars intensify across the globe, Pope Leo XIV used his first Easter address to deliver a stark warning against growing indifference to violence, urging both world leaders and o...

In Easter message Pope Leo condemns the “idolatry of profit” that leads to war and the state violence that manifests “in injustices, in partisan selfishness, in the oppression of the poor, in the lack of attention given to the most vulnerable.”
#LiberationTheology

Leo’s background in the United States and Latin America gives him a unique sensitivity to the role of #LiberationTheology in combating the misuse of Christianity as a tool of state power.

The only version of Christianity that resonates with the gospels: #LiberationTheology

Christian Nationalism is neither Christian nor good for the nation.
#LiberationTheology

Even Christianity itself, in any legitimate manifestation of the gospels, is against Christian Nationalism.
#LiberationTheology

In these times, in Holy Week, Pope Leo …
1. Names the Powers that Be (finding the courage to say it);
2. Unmasks the Powers that Be (to reveal how they oppress);
3. So that we might Engage the Powers that Be (by confronting & nonviolently calling power back to higher vocation).

Pope seems to rebuke Trump in remarks about leaders with ‘hands full of blood’ Pontiff’s unusually pointed comments come after Pete Hegseth’s prayer for violence against enemies ‘who deserve no mercy’

“Pope Leo has said God ignores the prayers of leaders who wage war and have “hands full of blood”, in an apparent rebuke to the Trump administration.”

#LiberationTheology

#LiberationTheology

A proponent of #LiberationTheology, an interpretive framework in which merciful, charitable, & pacifistic messages of the Gospels take priority, #ÓscarRomero was killed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1980 for the unpardonable sin of asking #ElSalvador's junta to stop killing civilians.

No religion is legitimate if it is used to prop up state power.

This is very cool indeed.
Thanks for posting this, Dean!

Perhaps a bit unexpected. The Adventists have historically not been very enthusiastic about #LiberationTheology, or am I wrong?
