Catholic left on rise in Latin America?
By Tom Smith

Liberation Theology strikes me as an embarrassment to both Catholics and Marxists. But liberation theology is dead you say, thirty years in the grave. As Jean-Francois Revel said so well, however, just because an ideology is dead, does not mean it cannot reach out and pull you into its grave. Apparently liberation theology is on the rise again in Latin America. Thanks to relapsed catholic for the pointer.
