Liberation theology is the belief that God sides with oppressed people to help them against their oppressors.[1] It arose in the 1960s 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 and influenced by Marxist materialism and was thus not viewed favorably by the Vatican.
