    A very engaging video- thorough and clear explanation of Liberation Theology, film footage and narration helped me better understand this aspect of modern Latin American politics

    One quote from St. Archbishop Oscar Romero the movie in talking to one of his Jesuit priest while armed, told him" and you will loose God." As we see today Nicaragua is hostile to the Church and Clerics who aided in it's liberation.

    Excellent. One mistake: in 1989 Ellacuría "was murdered along with two other priests." Should say FIVE other priests and two women.

    Thank you for this video. And "Jesus" keeps being killed every day in the body of those brave priests and the poor.

    Feminism has no organic or essential foundation. Christianity cannot by definition be for feminism. Not possible.

      Feminism is an anti-Patriarchal idea, which means it goes against any almighty Father figures, especially when the female figure offered in religion is that of a Virgin Mother, a perception of the woman that denies her sexuality to the point beyond reality.

    Liberation Theology as was thought by the Peruvian priest describes how the poor people of Peru and other Latin American countries are extremely oppressed by the oligarchs that hold reigns the government and using it to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor, the working class and the peasants. This extreme imbalance between the poor and the rich that also exploit the poor is used by communist insurgents in their quest to sow communism and make Latin America a communist continent. the dire poverty and extreme richness of the few who also have the government reign is being exploited by communist cadres and propagandists that communism is the best for the people because they will become equal in life with the rich when all property and source of production belongs to the proletariat. The church's teaching of the gospel is now use to pro-up communism because of Jesus and the apostles teachings that are pro-poor. The Latin American situation is not the same in the Philippines while many are poor many are working their own farms albeit so small compared to the hundreds or thousand of hectares owned by the oligarchs. Those who are industrious, especially the poor farmers/peasants can still live a decent life but unlike the decent life of the rich. It was when the communist propagators start to take arms to defeat the government when martial law was declared for the sate to defend itself that communism failed to become a potent threat to take over the democratic government of the Philippines.

      You mean how to implement communist using the poor as a shield.

      If you want to neutralize communism then dismantle capitalism!
