AL does have a point. Having witnessed the excesses of "revolutionary theology" by Catholic priests and laity in Latin America during the 80's I'm not big on them either. The Catholic heirarchy did make token attempts to control the proponents but the leftist ideology they spouted did untold damage that still reverberates. Unfortunately - given weaknesses in human character, religion will always be the fastest/easiest route to power for the unscrupulous. Marx made a legitimate observation when he called it "the opiate of the masses". My .02 - Peregrino
