ADVOCACY: BROTHER DANTE AND I ADVOCATE FOR A MOVEMENT TOWARDS LIBERATION THEOLOGY, AS A STARTING POINT TOWARDS ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACE AND JUSTICE.
LET ME ENTER INTO YOUR HEARTS AND INTO YOUR SOULS with A QUOTE FROM THE PSALMS, CHAPTER 9, VERSE 18
Liberation theology is a movement emphasizing overwhelming focus on the poverty while promoting the active role people in poverty must play
Levine 88 (Daniel H., from the article: Assessing the Impacts of Liberation Theology in Latin America, Review of politics vol. 50 no. 2, Levine is a professor of political science at the university of Michigan.)
What changes in liberation theology is less the fact of poverty or the notion of involvement with the poor than the way poverty is explained and the role created and promoted for the poor in church, society, and politics.
IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW, CHAPTER 19, VERSE 24
BROTHER EDUARDO GALEANO HAS LONG SPOKEN ON THE SUBJECT OF EXPLOITATIVE SIDE OF CAPITALISM.
Galeano ’73 (eduardo, from the book “open veins of latin America,” galeano is a prolific journalist and writer who also authored “upside down: a primer for the looking glass world”)
Latin America is the region of open veins. Everything, from the discovery until our times, has always been transmuted into European, or later United States capital, and has such accumulated in distant centers of power.
