Speaking at a conference in Freising Germany this morning Professor Dr Angel Mendez Montoya, a Mexican Dominican, said that the Mexican Catholic Church suffers from a colonial culture. He said it is a church which is deeply misogynistic and homophobic.
He went on to talk about how indigenous communities in South America suffer great exploitation.
The Catholic Church has a long way to go to experience true 'communio'.
Christ is sent to the world and is in favour of the world.
He spoke of how globalisation is a new form of colonialisation.
He praised Dominican bishop in Mexico City, Raul Vera, who regularly speaks out about injustice asking for collaboration among people and how this bishop is 'hated' by his fellow bishops for his outspoken behaviour.
