And now....the REST of the story...

OK, it wasn't so much the what of the last post as it was the who. It's a quotation by Gustavo Gutiérrez, a catholic priest regarded as the father of liberation theology.

Anybody surprised? I was.

So what do you make of that?

Does this mean that liberation theology is all OK? Of course not. But it does mean that I'm going to have to actually read the original authors. They just might have something to say. I mean, yeah, I might learn something that God wants me/us to know. It's just that it's so much easier to think I can only learn from those in my little circle, and if you are not in my circle, you have nothing to offer. It appears that it's not quite so black and white.

That's pretty much the first thing I've learned so far in my studies: you can usually learn something from everyone. I'm actually looking forward to reading his seminal work Teología de la liberación . Yeah, it's in Spanish. That's what makes studying so much more fun!

It kinda makes me wonder what else is out there that isn't quite what we thought it was but is "offlimits" because he/she is not in our circle.
