Noam Chomsky: U.S. used to have people killed for practicing what Pope Francis preaches

Chomsky said in an interview last week with social justice activist Abel Collins that priests or lay people set up groups with Latin American peasants to read the Gospels and encourage them to demand more rights from the region’s military dictatorships – which became known as liberation theology.
“There is a reason why Christians were persecuted the first three centuries,” Chomsky said. “The Gospels are radical – it’s a radical text – that’s a basically radical pacifism with its preferential option for the poor.”
He said liberation theology’s practitioners were systematically martyred over more than 20 years by U.S.-backed forces to prevent Latin American nations from installing socialist governments to benefit their own people, rather than American interests.
アメリカは、ラテンアメリカで、軍隊を訓練して、ローマ法王のような教えを実践しようとしたラテンアメリカの団体を弾圧してきたのだ、と。
