Liberation Theology Outlives Gustavo Gutierrez, Popularizes Marxism

Marxism remains Marxism, even when it goes by different names. This is true for liberation theology, which has evolved into a religious partner to today’s progressivism.

Marco Navarro-Génie—founding president of the Haultain Research Institute and author of Augusto "César" Sandino: Messiah of Light and Truth (2002)—contends that liberation theology can be as dangerous as any other movement that attempts to "liberate" the oppressed through force. In his analysis, “The Legacy of Gustavo Gutiérrez: Liberation Theology,” Navarro-Génie warns, “One cannot establish a regime of justice based on exploiting divisions among people based on envy and resentment.”

In this podcast episode, Navarro-Génie explores Pope Francis’s stance on liberation theology, fragmentation within the Catholic Church, and potential dangers this ideology poses to society. Further, he comments on when and how to combat liberation theology.
