Now, let's back up to look again at the origins of Liberation Theology in the mid- to late-1960s. In Colombia, Fr. Camilo Torres, an educated upper-class Colombian from the city of Bogota, became the first of many prototype martyrs for Liberation Theology. He began as an academician, having been a fellow seminarian with Gustavo Gutierrez, moving from a place of privilege and acceptance to a place of organizing the people – peasants, laborers, professionals, men and women alike – in a movement he called the United Front. He was a charismatic figure – a passionate man – who chose to live out the words of Jesus Christ in his words and in his own life. As he moved from being an educator and a sacramental priest to becoming a guerrilla for Christ, Fr. Torres said that revolution is, ‘…the way to bring about a government that feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, teaches the ignorant, puts into practice the works of charity, and love for neighbor, not just every now and then, and not just for a few, but for the majority of our neighbors’. For him, the church that should do these things had failed him and the people he served.
