Liberation Theology

Liberation theology is an important and controversial school in the theology of the Roman Catholic Church after the Second-Vatican-Council. It has had particularly widespread influence in Latin America and among the Jesuits.

In essence, Liberation Theology explores the relationship between Christian theology (usually Roman Catholic) and political activism, particularly in areas of social justice and human rights. Due to the controversial nature of these topics, their place within the Church and the extent to which Church officials should uphold them have been a matter of corresponding controversy.

Some of its followers add Marxist concepts and supported Sandinism. The Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has ordered those theologians thought deviated to cease publishing.
