Wrapping up the Curtain Raisers | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The Spanish talks will be off putting to Catholic nativists who forget their immigrant roots. This is a good thing. It is time for Latinos to be as valued for their Spanish Masses as the Polish language attendees are. That is as important as what he says, which is also vital. Let’s see how the conservatives (as opposed to the Trads) deal with any hint of liberation theology. Viva Maximo! Viva Francisco! Don’t even mention the name of the candidate for a haircut with our beloved Pontiff!
Let us hope that liberation theology also goes to the labor movement. In both cases, of course, the job of Francis is self-empowerment for both Latinos and Labor.
On affirming the faithful, in the civil rights movement we have a phrase about comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. This sounds about right. On some issues, of course, there are those who hope Francis does this to the man in the mirror (and wonder whether Pope Joan will be our only female pope).
