		These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.
		Liberation theology is the admixutre of one small truth (God cares about the poor) with so much error that it resulted in a madness that saw Christians champion what amounted to terrorism against propertied elites.
		In fact, the Vatican criticisms of liberation theology were actually quite nuanced, affirming the preferential option for the poor (the Church's traditional belief that individuals must help the needy) and the social import of the Gospel message but rejecting the theological outlook of class struggle and the means of violence.

	Liberation theology and the great revolutionary fantasy, by Phillip Berryman
		Berryman cites the comments of leading liberation theologian, Juan Luis Segundo, who points out that "the initial formulations were the work of theologians involved not so much with the poor as with university groups and intellectuals who were becoming aware of the structural crisis of Latin America".
		We also read that some liberation theologians (Hinkelammert and Assmann) are so impressed by some of Marx's more fanciful (or poetic?) ideas, such as "fetishism" (the notion that commodities become independently acting "subjects" while humans become inert "objects"), that they place it at the centre of their "Christian" analysis of Latin American society.
		Since the ideology of the liberation theologians is, on their own admission, fundamentally revolutionary rather than reformist, it would seem to be a waste of time trying to graft it on to Catholic social teaching.

	Father Gutierrez and Liberation Theologians
		And so we see that what Liberation Theologians aim at is not just 'updating a sluggish old inventory by slapping a new label on obsolete goods,' but the creation of a 'new society,' or as Father Segundo calls it,'a new humanity.
		But what makes this particular theme of the liberation theologians most offensive is their desire to see the Church support Communist regimes such as Cuba and Nicaragua, and indeed to introduce similar regimes throughout the rest of the world.
