Liberation theology arose in the 1980s in Latin America as a vehicle for fellow traveller priests with leftist political views to attack conservative governments friendly to the United States. While ostensibly based on Scripture, the ideology tended to be extremely left-leaning in nature and was thus not viewed favorably by the Vatican.
