Liberation Theology and the KGB
Liberation theology emphasizes "concientizacion" (roughly, "consciousness-raising") and seeks to change social, economic, and political structures with approaches other than free enterprise. Not merely looking outward, liberation theology seeks to focus the attention of the Church on the poor by creating a special theology for them. Thus, it is a theology as much from "below" as "above." It is often criticized as "Marxist theology," but defenders say that is oversimplified.

Ion Mihai Pacepa says that the true roots of Liberation Theology is that it was created by the [[KGB]]. He makes the point that it was not Christians who chased communism, but rather communists who chased Christianity.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pacepa|first1=Ion Mihai |url=http://www.nationalreview.com/article/417383/secret-roots-liberation-theology-ion-mihai-pacepa |title=The Secret Roots of Liberation Theology |date=23 April 2015 }}</ref>
