Liberation Theology Defender Helping Francis Write New Encyclical
This article is loosely translated via (google translate)
Pope Francis consulted Brazilian
writer and theologian Leonardo Boff to write his new encyclical, which has the
environment as its main theme.
According to ANSA found, Boff was among
the experts contacted during the
idealization and the management of the apostolic exhortation, the first
exclusively authored by
Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Last year, Francisco published
the encyclical
"Lumen Fidei," which, however, was written with the
help of his predecessor, Benedict XVI. Boff would have told the people who close
on a Sunday in September 2013, was with the Argentine Clelia Luro, widow of
Bishop Jeronimo Podestà , when the Pope called the woman. Luro, in turn, told
Francis that was in the company of Boff and immediately he asked that the widow
passed the phone.
"Could you send me that his book on environmental
issues? I Need him," said Bergoglio the Brazilian theologian.
The
interest in the work of Francisco Boff was also confirmed during his visit to
Brazil on the occasion of World Youth Day (WYD) in Rio de Janeiro. Vatican
officials have roamed the city
looking for books of the theologian.
Boff himself, told ANSA in July last year, went on to say that he believed
that the next papal encyclical would be on the environment. Today aged 75,
Boff
is exponent of Liberation Theology in Brazil.
He was a member of the Order of
Friars Minor and target of a lawsuit in the Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith in 1984, then led by Pope Benedict XVI, which earned him expulsion
from the Catholic Church and the Franciscans.
Clelia Luro, in turn, died late last year. She became friends with Francis when
he, in 2010, still Archbishop of Buenos Aires, gave the last rites to her
husband, Argentine bishop from the Church in 196o.

Who is Boff?
Below is the page of Leonardo Boff. Known Marxist whose modernist/evolutionary theology fits perfectly for the formal New Religion about to emerge under Maitreya. For those ignorant liberation theology is condemned by the Church but Francis seems to ally himself with the Marxists and liberation theology supporters.
"Theology, as the word suggests, is a discussion
about God and all things as seen in the light of God. It constitutes a
singularity in our species that, in some moment during millions of years
of evolution, the consciousness of God appeared."
"Among the many functions of theology today two are
most urgent: how theology collaborates in the liberation of the oppressed,
who are today’s “crucified Christs,”
