In case of dissension, never dare to judge till you've heard the other side. Heraclidæ (c 428 BC); quoted by Aristophanes in The Wasps.
I did not consider liberation theology a viable idea but understand the view to make your own bread as we do for the community with like minded
people to ask what is more important than new friends who need to know, or old friends who decide what is needed to know.
I support free men to decide that fear is the beginning of wisdom. I understand we are to forgive our brothers seventy times seven and seek justice.
I undestand what price was paid at Calvary in the new covenent of the Church age. I support those who cast not the first stone.
I will reflect the question as this. Two others had been placed on a cross also that day and what did we learn. If one inflicts unjustly
upon my children in malice I would not be one to forgive. So in all honesty I cannot be one. The comission was to work the fields since the workers are few.
notes: On 12 March 1977, Rutilio Grande, a progressive Jesuit priest and personal friend of Romero who had been creating self-reliance groups among the poor campesinos, was assassinated. His death had a profound impact on Romero, who later stated, "When I looked at Rutilio lying there dead I thought, 'If they have killed him for doing what he did, then I too have to walk the same path'".
I am not a marxist or was Romero, people must decide the means of production and property rights from the works of there hands and votes.
Wake up. Know the difference between liberation theology termed village idiots and rampant secular cheerful idiots today.
Romero was shot on 24 March 1980 while celebrating Mass at a small chapel located in a hospital called "La Divina Providencia", one day after a sermon in which he had called on Salvadoran soldiers, as Christians, to obey God's higher order and to stop carrying out the government's repression and violations of basic human rights. According to an audio-recording of the Mass, he was shot while elevating the chalice at the end of the Eucharistic rite.
Normalcy as we are reminded forwards three conditions of morality if they see it or not on a context they deny in motive. Benjamin Franklin conveyed that there is, or is not, and you better hope not loosely translated from my memory of his writings to the affairs we will deal with. It is not in their nature? To leave us be until we are pressed to exercise our Libery from the virtue they do not have. Independent and Open Source… I find the irony of ISIS today stricking and remember my Grandmother sending three Sons back to Europe since her sisters perished in the Netherlands from evil. As forwarded from my Wifes people when the grandchild steps out of line the grandmother should be slapped first since the mother was not raised properly. Culture change is a topic I do not think many understand at all and used for unwarranted leverages. For me Bonhoeffer was one of my recently overall figures to regard also as many others over time.
