On the side of the poor...

Radical scandalous parables, like time bombs tossed into unsuspecting crowds to defuse where all their preconceived ideas about God are of no use...the bomb goes off, and shards of grace fly everywhere. Or more scandalous than words, Jesus lived the parables out, in shocking panoramic technicolor he changed people's view of the world. It was on earth, as in heaven. This kind of liberation theology, or " Good News ", will not die as long as there are men and women who are motivated by God’s liberating action and pursue—by the measure of their faith and by the drive of their social action—their solidarity with their neighbours who are suffering, their neighbours whose dignity has been tossed into the trash.
