Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:50 pm By Keith Michael Estrada
“There is an ‘atheism’ that is closer at hand and more dangerous to our church. It is the atheism of capitalism.”* +Blessed Óscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador (1917 – 1980), 111 characters [Tweet this] The full quote, from The Violence of Love, reads: “It is therefore absurd to say that the church has become Marxist. Since Marxist materialism destroys the church’s transcendent meaning, a Marxist church would be not only self-destructive, but senseless. There is an “atheism” that is closer... Read more
