<B>Was Liberation Theology at the forefront of the WSF? </B>
- Let's say that we started earlier. But the WSF is an appropriate space for this discussion, especially after the prohibition by the Vatican, which dismantled the movement surrounding Liberation Theology. (In 1984, the Vatican banned then-Catholic priest Boff from continuing discussions of LT. That same year, Boff was punished by the Church with one year of "obsequious silence". Eight years later, faced with new threats, he decided to renounce the priesthood and shifted his efforts to the secular world.)
