¡Noche de formación sobre la teología de la liberación en El Agustino, Lima, Perú! ¿Qué es la teología de la liberación? Es una interpretación de la obra de Dios en la historia en alianza con los oprimidos con el objetivo de crear una sociedad sin dominación.

A woman at the parish: "There are not many priests who are willing to speak about social justice and about the poor anymore. I often think of leaving the Church, but then there are a few priests who remain firm in 'the school of the poor' and give me a reason to stay."

The Trump administration would do well to listen to the late Pope Francis, who wrote in "Fratelli tutti" (2020) that "each country also belongs to the foreigner, inasmuch as a territory’s goods must not be denied to a needy person coming from elsewhere" (para. 124).

The USA has played a liberating role in history in a few ways, but, to many throughout the world, the USA is synonymous with imperialism, colonization, racism, capitalist exploitation, weapons production, pollution, waste, nationalism, and stupidity--among others. 1/2

Jesus: "Blessed are the poor. Woe to the rich." Trump: "Blessed are the rich. Woe to the poor."

Education doesn't free people from poverty. Equalizing the relations of production, advancing the means of production & producing basic necessities frees people from poverty. Education only liberates to the extent it contributes to such equalization, advancement & production.

Heidegger asks, "Why is there being rather than nothing?" From the situation of Latin America, we ask, "Why is there nothing rather than being?" --Ignacio Ellacuría, S.J.

Would that God raise up for our time prophets like St. John the Baptist who tell soldiers to stop oppressing, the rich to share their wealth, and religious leaders to abandon their shallow hypocrisy. And John did so not to draw attention to himself but to God and God's justice!

"Is it just that the fruit of a person's own sweat and labor should be possessed and enjoyed by any one else? As effects follow their cause, so is it just and right that the results of labor should belong to those who have bestowed their labor." --Pope Leo XIII, 1891

The "Trump as Pope" image is offensive to Catholics, but more offensive to Catholics should be Trump's treatment of the poor, the marginalized, and the migrants that Jesus loved so much.

"The last shall be first, and the first, last" (Matthew 20:16). Such is the revolutionary society envisioned by Jesus: the poor are elevated & the rich are humbled. This great reversal is not just for heaven. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

"Just as the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say 'thou shalt not' to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills." --Pope Francis, "Evangelii gaudium"

Thank you, Pope Francis. In word and deed, you showed the Church what it means to follow Jesus Christ: to be close to the poor, to be in solidarity with the joys and hopes, fears and anxieties of the poor, to make an alliance with the poor in their struggle for liberation.

In the face of oppression, one can actively participate in it, one can do nothing about it, or one can resist it. I pray that God gives us the courage to resist and to persevere in our resistance.

They say that education should prepare students for the real world. Yet if the real world is oppressive, then why should education prepare students to conform to it?

"Drill, baby, drill" is one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, of Trump's positions. Yet Democrats' criticism of Trump often ignores this point since Democrats under Obama & Biden also failed miserably at taking the radical steps needed to address climate change.
