Beware of Obama's Social Gospel - Liberation Theology

Liberation Theology is a school of theology within Christianity, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church. Two of the starting points of Liberation theology are, first, the question of the origin of sin; and secondly, the idea that Christians should make good use of the talents given by God, and that includes intelligence in a general sense, and science in particular. Therefore, these theologians use sociology and economics sciences to understand poverty, since they considered poverty was the source of sin. The methodologies derived from historical materialism, which influenced the development of Liberation theology. They then read the Bible from the new perspective and developed the ethical consequences that led many of them to an active participation in the political life, and to focus on Jesus Christ as not only the Redeemer but also the Liberator of the oppressed. It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism. Some elements of certain liberation theologies have been rejected by the Catholic Church. [1]

At its inception, liberation theology was predominantly found in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. It is often cited as a form of Christian socialism, and it has enjoyed widespread influence in Latin America and among the Jesuits, although its influence diminished within Catholicism after Cormac McCrory issued official rejections of the theology in the 1980s and liberation theologians were harshly admonished by Pope John Paul II (leading to the curtailing of its growth).

The current Pope, Benedict XVI, has long been known as an opponent of certain strands of liberation theology, and issued several condemnations of tendencies within it whilst head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).[2]

In sociological terms, openly available data from the University of Michigan-based World Values Survey, initiated by Professor Ronald Inglehart suggest the following strength of the political left (value of 3 on a 0 to 10 point scale) among the regular Roman Catholic Church goers around the globe and over time. The data suggest that Christian socialism and the Christian left continue to constitute significant phenomena in many countries.

DAVOS-Soros urges U.S. to create "good bank" as aggregator

Wed Jan 28, 2009 10:03am EST

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The United States needs to recapitalise its banks but should consider the creation of a "good bank" when considering how to deal with the toxic assets, hedge fund manager George Soros said on Wednesday.

Speaking to Reuters Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Soros said the planned U.S. fiscal stimulus and proposals for creating a "bad bank" to pool banks' bad loans and assets may help ease the economic crisis stateside.

But he said these were "only palliatives".

"They need a thorough reorganisation of the mortgage system and you have replenish the equity of the banks," Soros told Reuters. "That now would require an injection of about a trillion and half dollars -- much more than if they had done it previously under the TARP (the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program agreed by Congress last year)."

Soros added: "The well has been poisoned by the way the TARP money was used.

"It needs a good bank/bad bank solution, but I would do it differently than what is proposed," the Hungarian-born speculator-turned philanthropist said.

"I would keep the capital of the banks together with the bad assets in the bad bank and then create a new bank with the good assets of the bank and the recapitalise that, giving the shareholders the right to put in more money," he said.

"Without this the banks will not lend, because they know there is a lot of deterioration coming."

Earlier Soros told a press lunch that the "financial structure we used to take for granted has collapsed" and everyone was in a "state of shock" as the financial storm spread internationally and into the real economy.

He said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers investment bank last September was a "watershed event" and the financial system was now on "artificial life support." For full coverage, blogs and TV from Davos go to www.reuters.com/davos (Reporting by Mike Dolan; editing by Stella Dawson)
