Changes

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.
