Quotes from the same author

Through the persons who explicitly accept his Word, the Lord reveals the world to itself.
 Gustavo Gutiérrez
The poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action, but a demand that we go and build a different social order.
 Gustavo Gutiérrez
Is the Church fulfilling a purely religious role when by its silence or friendly relationships it lends legitimacy to dictatorial and oppressive government?
 Gustavo Gutiérrez
But the poor person does not exist as an inescapable fact of destiny. His or her existence is not politically neutral, and it is not ethically innocent. The poor are a by-product of the system in which we live and for which we are responsible. They are marginalized by our social and cultural world. They are the oppressed, exploited proletariat, robbed of the fruit of their labor and despoiled of their humanity. Hence the poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action, but a demand that we go and build a different social order.
