Liberation theology


 

Liberation theology is an important and controversial school in the theology of the Roman Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. It is often cited as a form of Christian socialism, and it has had particularly widespread influence in Latin America and among the Jesuits, although its influence has diminished since important parts of its teaching were rejected by the Vatican.
