Oscar Romero's take on earthly liberation

When something is good and exciting, makes great reading and hits a tone it's surely worth repeating.

This is a paragraph from a piece on Oscar Romero from The Tablet, which appeared on this blog on Friday, October 12.

Time and again, Romero would emphasise that human or earthly liberation, though not identical with the full liberation that Christianity preached, was not separate from it either. 

For this reason, believers need to be active in making the world more just. “Those who want to be co-partners in the promises of eternity,” he wrote, “have to collaborate with God in establishing justice, peace and love in this kingdom on Earth.”
