treesh what do u think of liberation theology

― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 20 August 2014 02:00 (5 months ago)

please don’t make us wait another five months for a response

that was from another thread and it was probably asked facetiously however five months later it looks like a viable question for trís

from what little i know about it, catholic liberation theology as practiced in latin america seems like it was progressive. i always thought it was ironic/despicable how the post vatican ii popes have distanced themselves from liberation theology for fear of possibly being seen to lend support to leftist armed insurrections when in the past they were openly supportive of fascism. queasiness with militarism was clearly not their issue with it.

hitchens' line that mother teresa wasn't a fan of the poor, but a fan of poverty, who romanticized suffering and was only interested in partial, "charitable" approaches to ameliorating the effects of inequality was harsh but otm. liberation theology is interested in political solutions to suffering and inequality, and i think that's the crucial difference between them and the equivocators in the church who of course support the "preferential option for the poor" and even the welfare state but are paranoid of "marxism."

what do you think nakh?

also pre-francis, with the european popes, there was something grotesque about the vatican telling priests how they should respond to the political situations in their own countries, especially since in each case it was clear that they were doing what they thought was best for their congregations.

the only catholic hierarch i respect is ratzinger

you're going to have to unpack that

good luck unnakhing that

there is no conceivable worth to the catholic church other than its enduring capacity to disregard people with good intentions from within and ill intentions from without

sub specie aeternitatis; resilience is a transcendent value

u get $$$ sometimes if u get confirmed

liberation theology maybe had some local practical benefits for local people but its syncretization of guileless marxism and peasant christianity is just part of south america's endless oscillation between messianism (latterly mostly secular) and entrenched power, the former needing the latter for victims to fetishize and the latter needing the former to overreach again and again

insofar as priests in latin america really did try to fight for socialism, i don't know if they were as invested in the romanticization of poverty as the mainstream church. from what i understand, that is what made the vatican uncomfortable right up through francis

lol at the wikipedia article

Gustavo Gutiérrez gave the movement its name with his book A Theology of Liberation (1971). In this book, Gutierrez combined populist ideas with the social teachings of the Catholic Church.....Gutierrez emphasized practice (or, more technically, "praxis") over doctrine.

my wife started watching this show when she gets ready in the morning or is doing menial stuff around the living room. I keep waiting for the gilmore girls to run out.

but the ipad is like bacchus' cup with this shit

it's definitely easy to tune in and tune out.

i watched this show a lot growing up. it was always on in syndication on abc family. today, however, i have consciously chosen to watch it.

"growing up" -- jeez, i feel old. this was on after i graduated college.

"growing up" = middle school and high school. show started when i was 11

i like how she is wearing a "baby-g" watch in the image i posted above.

paris is the effing worst

what the? few things in life bring me as much joy as paris gellar. every time luke starts one of his pointless, humorless rants, i get angry at the thought that the screen time could have been given to paris.

yeah, in general she is a key figure of the show. i think she was being really annoying in whatever scene i was watching when i typed that though.

they can see through the window that it is raining, though

and happy birthday, Treeship! (unless that was a joke)

it's true! and thanks
