This view rejects the traditional practice of servitude to the state and religious institutional hierarchy, preferring to view faith as a catalyst of revolution and empowerment,as well as justification of rebellion against secular as well as seminal hierarchy.

Liberation Theology was influential in the [[Roman Catholic]] church in [[Latin America]] during the 1970s and 80s but was criticized by Pope [[John Paul II]].
