“Many of
Bergoglio’s fellow Jesuits believed they had a postconciliar mandate to make
the pursuit of social justice the order’s organizing mission. In Latin America,
the emerging Big Idea for what this meant was liberation theology, which
promoted a synthesis between Gospel faith and Marxist-flavored political activism. Argentina’s provincial, the
head of the country’s Jesuits, Ricardo O’Farrell, offered encouragement to
these ideas. He backed priests who essentially wanted to live as political
organizers among Argentina’s poor. He also supported a syllabus rewrite that
was “heavy on sociology and Hegelian dialectics,” as Ivereigh describes it, and
lighter on traditional Catholic elements.”
I touched on the Hegelian dialectics in one of those
posts that I copied from my Politics Forum posts. The post is about halfway down the list of posts
copied February, 2015. The title is “Thank you, Sponge, for that
post.” If Pope Francis believes in
Hegelian dialectics, his beliefs are even scarier than I thought. Read in that post what Hegel believed.
