The Catholic Church south of the US border is known for its "liberation theology," a demi-heresy pushed largely by Jesuit and Franciscan 'scholars.'
...The term originated among Latin American Catholic theologians in the 1960s, and it has increasingly been used to describe similar approaches in other parts of the globe. It often engages in socio-economic analyses, and emphasizes social concern for those marginalized due to their social class, race, ethnicity, gender, etc....
...Its roots can be traced to precursors like Catholic Action and the influence of the Second Vatican Council, which inspired new approaches to addressing systemic poverty and inequality in Latin America.[4][5] While its theological framework centers on interpreting the Gospel through the lens of the oppressed, liberation theology also drew from broader socialist and anti-imperialist movements....
...The movement's theoretical foundations draws heavily from Marxist social analysis, particularly its critique of structural inequality and class oppression. While liberation theology does not adopt Marxism wholesale, its use of concepts like class struggle and the critique of global capitalism has led to significant controversy within the Church. Pope John Paul II and the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, led by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), criticized the movement for what they perceived as excessive politicization and alignment with communist ideologies....
Any fair reading of the above tells one that "Liberation Theology" and Catholicism are two very different things.
Well, as it turns out, "Liberation Theology" liberated the libido, too. Surprised? The worship of any false god (in this case, wealth/Mammon) inevitably leads to the worship of ALL false gods--including Lust.
Look what Liberation Theology did to Central and South America's babies:
