  6. Christ in Latin American Liberation Theology “Revealed and hidden in the faces of the poor” “The Kingdom of God” “Liberator” “Jesucristo” http://www.latinamericanescapes.com/map.htm

  7. Class Reading ‘Conscientization’ • Freire, Paulo. "Conscientizing as a Way of Liberating (1970)." In Liberation Theology: A Documentary History, edited by Alfred T. Hennelly, 5-13. New York: Orbis Books, 1997.

  8. Gutierrez, Gustavo. We Drink from Our Own Wells: The Spiritual Journey of a People. New York: Orbis Books, 1983. pp. 122-135.

  9. Jesus in the Faces of the Poor • Medellin – ‘Preferential Option for the Poor’ • With the Poor and against Poverty • The World of the Poor

  10. Spiritual Childhood • The Dark Night of Injustice • Living in Community

  11. Ellacuria on The Kingdom of God as the Eschaton(Callaghan MA Thesis) • Deduced from liberation theology’s concrete task – the liberation of the poor • Liberation theology prefers the KOG as the eschaton because liberation theology is an historical theology

  12. Christ the Liberator • Gutierrez, Gustavo. A Theology of Liberation: History, Politics and Salvation. London: SCM Press, 1974. pp. 175-78

  13. Behind unjust situations is human responsibility • Sin is a social, historical fact • Sin is evident in oppressive structures in the exploitation of man by man, in the domination and slavery of peoples, races, and social classes • Christ introduces us into communion - he conquers sin and all its consequences. • Christ is liberator.

  14. Liberation: 3 levels of meaning

  15. El Salvador • Why is Christ the Liberator so central to LALT?

  16. Catholic priests assassinated in El Salvador during and after Óscar Romero's time as archbishop (1977–1980): • Rutilio Grande, S.J.: assassinated March 12, 1977 • Alfonso Navarro: assassinated May 11, 1977 • Ernesto Barrera: assassinated November 28, 1978 • Octavio Ortiz: assassinated January 20, 1979 • Rafael Palacios: assassinated June 20, 1979 • NapoleónMacías: assassinated August 4, 1979 • Ignacio Martín-Baró, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989 • JoaquínLópez y López, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989 • Juan Ramón Moreno, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989 • Segundo Montes, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989 • Ignacio Ellacuría, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989 • AmandoLópez, S.J.: assassinated November 16, 1989

  17. Mujerista Theology (Isasi-Diaz) • A mujeristais someone who makes a preferential option for Latina women, for their struggle for liberation. • The term was developed by a group of theologians and pastoral agents – so the term originated from a religious perspective • Now used in many other fields such as literature and history

  18. Liberative Praxis • Community • Solidarity • Appreciation of Difference • Family

  19. Mujerista Christ • Christology is praxis – out of the reality as marginalised • Christology is historical – struggle for liberation-fullness of life • Christology is ethical stance - what our consciences tell us • Melds “Jesus” and “Christ” into one word – “Jesucristo” • The “Kin-dom” of God (family) – rescues the Kingdom of God from the supernatural order • Jesus is definitive mediator of the kin-dom of God (each one of us also – imago dei)
