Liberation Theology: Lotus of Indigenous Latin American Cosmology Emerging from Imposed Colonial Catholicism

What's up to my moon-kissed mellifluous humanists and earth-eyed ocelot idealists! Meow. Mew. Mmrrrow.

Welcome back to the BNP y'all! Conan here, comin' in hot with some minty fresh BNP content. And, I'm also quite hot. Like, from a temperature perspective. Sweating balls really. But I digress.

This episode is an exploration of the 20th century grassroots Latin American political and spiritual movement known as Liberation Theology. 

Liberation Theology emerged as an improbable outgrowth out of the oppressive and abusive forced colonialist conversion of Indigenous Peoples, particularly those in Latin America, to monarchical European Christianity. 

Writings and teachings of Liberation Theology weave genuine respect and admiration for the humility and character of the poor with direct political activism that strives to liberate intentionally marginalized Peoples from the grinding poverty foisted on them by European settlers. 

My wish is that this episode informs listeners (at least a little) and inspires those who may be interested to dive deeper into the teachings and writings of Liberation Theology. Citation of sources is below.
