>>21626251liberation theology, very popular in latin america and also partly in italy, mainly between jesuits and franciscans.
conservative popes didn't like it but hadn't the ground to pass it as heresy, plus they even promoted some of them to bishops, while to francis they are very powerful allies.
even pope pious XII, who was mad conservative and even issued the controversial and now basically worthless excommunication to communists, recieved often Franco Rodano to audience, and he was a fucking high ranking PCI member
Still, if european catholics had to choose between liberation theology and whatever the US catholics are doing they would choose the first one.
But desu, what are you guys doing up there? you are pissing and crying every time the pope does something and even team up with protestants and jews(ben shapiro) to insult him, us left catholics from latin america and europe were never that agressive towards a pope even when they supported literal fascist dictatorships
